One thing you will need to do is to be sure the shoes have been arched to the drums. If the shoes are a different radius then the drums, you will have difficulty cetering the shoes and it may take a very long time to "Bed in" the brakes.
I made my own centering tool but I made it so I can compensate for overside drums. Making your own centering tool is possible but you have to be very precise. When everything is right and adjusted properly, Model A Brakes are quite good.
Les's Book has very good directions for properly rebuilding, arcing, centering and adjusting Model A Brakes.
Take your time and do it right.
