My brakes ('34 Tourer) are barely adequate.
I, too, have replaced most things.
I though I had improved them, until my neighbour bought a Seven and asked my to drive it.
It stops almost like a modern!
When he isn't looking, I will take a wheel and drum off, and see what is on the shoes.
Very frustrating, though, to know it can be done.
In the meantime, I drive, as I always have, defensively.
Braking is much helped by engine braking, if you can co-ordinate it.
