Although I can see your car is a mk1 Ruby, I don't suppose it has a semi-Girling front axle fitted?
The early version of this axle had pull-off springs fitted over pegs, which tended to pull the shoes outwards. If so, the pegs are best removed and the later pull-off springs used, which also helpfully hold the shoes back in place, and will fit directly into the holes that are left.
