Inspect regularly, mark & watch the progression of the cracks.<br>
Also some friction materials want a click or 2 more clearance because they swell when hot, then drag and overheat.<br>
I don't currently have a source.<br>

Subject: [Fot] Public Service Announcement, knockoff Datsun brake drums<br>
<br>
A couple years ago when I was accumulating parts for my TR250 vintage racer I sourced a pair of brake drums that I knew were aftermarket copies of the Datsun 240Z finned aluminum drum. These copies were getting decent reviews at the time, so I tried a pair.<br>
<br>
So I am prepping for the next event and found this. These drums ran 8 weekends. The other drum shows a small crack, looks like it would grow to look like this one pretty quick. <br>
<br>
So anyone have a source for some real Datsun Z-car drums?<br>
