Thanks everyone for their input.
I have concluded from all the input to:
1.Leave brakes uncoupled
2.Remove wear from all brake cams and bushes
3.Provided side to side compensation on the rear by the system used by CharlesP and incorporate Plummer blocks to support cross tube
4.Fit new cast iron drums with soft linings.
Question 1: does the front system provide effective compensation or does this need improving?
Question 2: How does one ensure that the spherical on the front brake cam levers are in-line with the kingpin axis so the levers are not operated as steering lock is wound on?
