[FWDLK] '55 brakes



For a good number of years, I have been unable to find a suitable gauge to adjust the brakes on my '55 Ply. Sometime ago, I purchased one of those caliper types that measure drum/shoes diameter, but since these brakes have two pivots points, it's difficult to use this gauge. The manual shows a gauge that rotates on the spindle which is more practical and easier to use.
I find it hard to adjust the shoes without a gauge a pain since I don't know whether to adjust the top or bottom anchor to fit them snuggly as this might wear out one side more than the other one. 
 
So, does anybody know of a suitable gauge to use on these brakes?
What about the type of gauge that rotates on the spindle, is this still somewhere available?
 
Thanks
