I seriously doubt that would pass tech.  Why not just use hydraulic wheel 
cylinders like most production car drums?  You could then adapt separate 
cable operated cutting brakes using stock e-brake cables.  What is your 
fascunation with the drum brakes?  There are major downsides to them in 
off-road applications unless they are the sealed type found on the back of 
some ATV's.
