<div style="FONT-SIZE:small" class="gmail_default">The OEM Datsun Z finned
aluminum drum is a nice retrofit. Several of the racers and street
enthusiasts have installed them. The conversion doesn't require much
modification. Lighter weight and cooler running that steel drums.
Like Triumph parts, the original Z drum is what you want, not the aftermarket
piece. Can be machined to 9.055" dia. Lot's of info in the FOT
archive. </div>

regarding the brake shoes. I’ve ordered a set from Ted
Schumacher. The drums didn’t clean up with 0.025 removed from a side
(final size 9.050). It would take another 0.020 on a side to clean the
drums up making them 9.090 diameter. I think that is probably too much
to take off but I’m not sure. We have a set of original drums on a
street car rear axle that we could try and clean up or I can order some new
ones. There seem to be two type of drums available; $27 ones and $58
ones (Moss). Nothing in the specs as to why the difference. Any
input on drums would be appreciated.</div><span>

lining came off the shoe at Blackhawk Farms last weekend. I am looking
for suppliers for brake shoes with riveted linings as the one that came off
was a “glued” lining. I’d also like to specify the lining to use, the
Carbotech linings whose pads we use and like on the front discs. I’m
also open to any suggestions about what to use for the rear brake
shoes. The above would just be my preference based on the latest
experience. I see Revington has competition shoes with “Mintex 20”
linings I think for about $120 a set which appear to be rivited.
Anyone with experience with these brake shoes and linings?</div>
