Most of us made our own for very little. Here is mine:

Put the drum on and adjust one or both shoes to just touch the drum at the top. These points on the shoes are your reference, being the inside of the drum. Remove the drum and set your tool to the reference end of the shoes. I use the feeler gauge as shown to see just where my guess was. Then adjust the shoes at top and bottom to give the correct clearance from your tool. You should now be good to go!
