Listers,

Does anybody know what way the fins go on the Datsun/ready made finned 
aluminium brake drums?

A member of our local TSOA has a set of original (Stanpart???) finned 
aluminium brake drums on his 1 owner TR3A. He picked them up from the local 
Triumph dealership in the early 60s when they were unofficially 'helping' 
local racers of Triumphs.

I seem to recall him saying that the fins on the original types go in a 
different direction to the ones that are currently available (and hence 
offer better braking). Can anybody confirm or deny this?

Cheers,
Michael
