As I could find no problems with sticking master cylinder, lack of free play in the brake pedal, and all hoses/pipes fine. It came down to the springs that return the shoes were not best placed to do the job intented as they were exerting their force close to the fulcrum end of the shoe, not at the s/cylinder end where they would be most effective. I drilled the brake plate and repositioned the springs so that they now operate close to the m/cylinder end - NO MORE DRAGGING FRONT BRAKES!!!!!!
Thanks for all end helpful replies and advise - there will be more requests for same, no doubt.
