The shafts are thicker on a disc brake pin.
And the length is just a wee bit longer on the drum brake models but 
that is shim-able. the shaft thickness *might* be fixable with the 
correct bushings and a good reaming.
I had 3 drum pins, and the pin I sent you. the one I sent is thicker 
near the bottom.
