alternative thing to look at.
Rich, Check your triangular floor mounted brake pivot plates in the drivers compartment, if the mounting holes are elongated / deformed or the plates are thin from corrosion they may be lifting off the floor when you apply the brake and not returning when the brake is not applied. This could also happen if you are using the incorrect pitched countersunk screws to hold them.
Also if your driver compartment floor is thin from corrosion it can warp when applying the brakes. if you suspect this as the floor on a carrier is only about 3mm plate when new you can put a strengthening bar between the outer most triangle brackets on the underside of the carrier.
You can get brake heat also if you are using the wrong kind of brake drum sealing strip material which is to tightly packed in.
let me know what you find after inspection.
