Asking for opinion and advice concerning the 10" drum brakes on the front  
of my 54 TR2.  If applied gradually the car stops straight as expected but  
when stabbed quickly it will pull to the right.  Now I know that to correct  
the pulling is just a simple matter of adjusting the front shoes but my 
question  is which one?  Adjusting the front shoes is a matter of jacking up 
the  front, removing the wheel and poking a hefty screw driver through the 
hole  in drum and turning one or both of the screws so it can be a frustrating  
adjust and test and repeat process.  Any advice
