Ok, now onto the brakes. I've assembled both front and rear. I'd like to

do some sanding to make a better fit. Can't find anyone around here to
cut drums. Is there a method to mark shoes while spinning in the drum to

see high spots? A friend mentioned talcum powder. Haven't tried yet.
Ideas? I can certainly hear the rubbing come and go as I spin them. Do
you suppose this can be somewhat accurately assessed on the bench
without the wheel buttoned up to the chassis and axles?

DW once mentioned to me when we did mine that some use chalk to see
where the contact was/wasn't made. Dave? Still had to sand a little.
