You're right. I got it backasswards. New master with twin 3/4" bores.
The old one was 7/8" in one bore for the drum brakes and 3/4" bore for the
Datsun clutch in the other. Rear is adjusted as best as possible. Pity
you can't get shoes arced anymore for full contact with the drum. I will
try to wear them in and keep adjusting to see if that helps.
