AMICI,
     With these Datsun brake drums...are 
we talking about 10" drums? or 9" drums? 
What size wheel cylinders do we/you use? 
And with that, what bore size master 
cylinder? Do the different calipers (TR3, 
TR4, TR6) have different bores also?
   This is one of those "a little knowledge is 
a dangerous thing" situations. I know that 
changing bore sizes will change the action 
of the brakes, ie balance. I'm wondering 
what different combinations you have come 
up with that work the best. I guess pad and 
shoe material is also a factor here.
