Minifin brake drums are no longer made.  They had steel inserts in the
aluminun.
Your only chance to get some is to find some used.  Minis also used the same
drum, 
so a mini owner might have some, but if I had some I wouldn't sell them.

If there is another alternative I would like to hear about it.
