I believe that the drums that The Z store sells are
"Centric" Brand. We use many of their products in out
shop and find that they are excellent quality. I am
currently using a pair of their drums on the rear of
my Morgan. I have scoops with cooling duct leading
into the backing plates and additional exit
ventilation holes in the backing plates. So far I
have had no problems with serious cracks int he drum
liners.

knockoff Datsun brake drums
Henry, I may have a pair that I won't be using. Give
me a day or two and
I'll look through my garage and see if I can find them.
I went to a great auction last Sat, repair garage
who's owner died, and
bought a bunch of things that I'm still sorting
through. Including a Sun
Diagnostic machine that works!
Still sorting!
Thanks, Bill
