Flathead Ted of New Zealand makes an excellent project. I have his system on my Vic and I have very good brakes. The front shoes will center them selves. The back shoes, if you have what Ted calls his "pins" you can center the shoes with a centering tool from Bratton's.
The "pins" are a rectangle that slides on the tracks. They are on an eccentric and each side is raised by a small amount. What I did was glue some white paper to the back and number each edge 1 through 4. Then it was an easy matter to try each side for the proper centering.
