One can get double leading shoes using only one cylinder.  However the
piston must move further out and I don't know if the TC's brake
cylinder's can handle this.  The conversion would be to make the fixed
brake shoe anchor FLOATING so as the front shoe moves outward it also
pushes the rear shoe outward.

Be forwarned though, that cars with double leading shoes have
depreciated brakes going backwards as only two shoes at the rear will
have the self servo effect instead of the formerly four.
