He said in the initial post he is having trouble fitting the drum over the shoes.
I am talking about the drums with the hub on the outside because in his initial post he said showed a picture of the hub on the outside and said “I understand theres 2 drum styles from the era,but I thought you could use either. Any insight would be great.”

"Arcing" does not NECESSARILY make a drum fit over shoes which have linings that are TOO thick. Arcing is meant to precisely fit the radius of a shoe's lining to the radius of it's drum, usually at the time of turning a drum to a larger diameter. If the shoe is not indexed properly in the arcing machine, or if set-up with the wrong dimensions, the drum STILL may not fit over the shoes. Arcing will not correct the situation of mis-located pivot holes in SOME aftermarket shoes, either. DD
