on my 1 litre I found you needed the shoes adjusted a lot tighter than you would expect to get a good pedal, if the pedal comes good clamped adjust them up some more

Only early 1ls had manual adjusting brakes. Later 1ls and all 1.3s had auto adjusting brakes.

Try doing some hard stops both forwards and reverse and see if it's any better.

My drover (1985) has manual adjustable rear drums and its 1.3L.

But if sierras have auto adjustable, then i might try and track down the sierra drums and bolt them on.

One click on the adjuster on mine makes all the difference between an awesome pedal feel, and a slooppy pedal feel.
