Measured the drums ID as 6 15/16". The lining on the shoes is very thin at
about 5/32".

Even though the adjusters are relatively new, I know they are new because I
remember the ridiculous price I paid for them, I swapped them out for some
old ones. I tried various combinations of adjusters and masks and found some
that will give some adjustment to the shoes.

I also tried a spacer under the adjuster. This worked ok. I did not weld one
up as a permanent fix but may take this route if I cannot get custom shoes
made.

I'm looking around the local area to see if there is anyone that will do a
thicker lining on the shoes.

Thanks for all the responses.

BTW the price for new adjusters is $48 from VB or $35 from AHSpares. That
price is EACH but also includes the mask. MOSS does not even carry them.
