I've got a set sitting on my shelf, so you don't need to do it.
HTe 240-Z drums will fit TR's with 9" rear brakes. This includes
most TR-4's, 250's and 6's and some TR-3's TR-2 and some TR-3's
had 10" rear drums. The Datsun aluminum drums need to have the
center hole enlarged a bit, but the bolt pattern is the same. If
you want to retain those little drum hold-down screws, the holes
for them will need to be drilled and countersunk as well. The
backing plates of some brakes will foul the inner edge of the
drum, so the drum may need to be trimmed there, too. Test this
first, though, as they don't always need to be trimmed.
