To determine extent of curvature problem how about bluing the drums and making a few stops to see how much of the shoe makes contact? I could then try taking a sander to the spot and trying again until I get 90+ area contact. Once I figure how bad one wheel is I can use dimensions as a template for rest of drums. Anyone know of bluing compound that won't ruin brake linings?

Bluing will not hurt a thing but see my other post on curvature. New linings should only contact the drum in the center 2/3 of the drum!!!
