    You could add tabs to the brake shoes rather than have longer pistons.

    In the 1960`s Formula 2 stock car drivers adapted complete 105E backplates and drums to 103E stub axles.
    I think the backplate centre hole had to be opened up slightly as did the backplate bolt mounting holes. The drums were a case of swapping bearings...
