Tony, I hear you I should have checked the arc before I put them all back together. But they way these original brake set ups are, I think your lucky if half the shoe touches the drum anyway on a good day. If I put brake floaters in I'm sure this would be crucial. Once I get the new clevis pins I will post how it stops on my test run. Most the little rollers were all gunked up with harden grease, they are all clean now and roll smoothly, and all appeared round too by measuring.
