Howdy Clevtrev,
Well actually it already has, years ago that it is.
I once stared at some Vin brake parts at a swap meet with an eye towards making the worn out shoes on offer cores for trade in when getting new linings - that is until I started arranging re-ligning here locally - many of they had worn cambered when viewed in cross section from uneven loading on the lining face which in turn had even worn the pivot bores on a few.

I am guessing that you are saying things are not parallel & perpendicular?
I tried to fit "lightning" plates to my "B" & I just got squeals & broken springs. Put the old steel plates back & no problems. I then noticed the plates "distorting" under load. A few measurements later & I realised my Bramptons are less than perfect. They track well at speed but below 32 mph they have a slight wobble. Have to fix it some time as it is a pain in stop/start traffic!
