One is to find and use asbestos lined shoes. They have not been in auto parts stores since about 1980 but they're out there in abundance and really make a difference over "organic" friction. The other is to "arc grind" the linings as explained in this article: http://www.adlersantiqueautos.com/articles/drumbrakes.html
