Yes, they do have inserts. However the company that makes them is
Autospecialty (aftermarket arm of TRW) not Auto Zone. These units already
have the proper machining to fit.

Hugh: Do these ones from AutoZone come with the iron inserts as well? The
price of 70.00 each seems good.
I can probably pick up some 240Z drums off a neighborhood junker.
Presuming they are still thick enough to re-surface, I wonder what the cost
of re-surfacing and machining them to fit a TR6 would compare with this new
price. I understand the holes need to be enlarged and some material taken
off the back. Not sure of exact specs for this.
