The difference in the size of the heel that rests on the cam. IE. thick cam thin heel and vice versa. My Injun Vijai had shims and flat springs under the heel too. If you use a thick cam and thick heels, you won't even get the hub on. A smear of copper grease on the pivot pins and also on the cam for smooth action.

If you have a GP hub fitted to an Li, do you need to fit GP shoes?

No, its the size of the cam and the thickness of the heels on the shoes.
