>I am still confused on 9 inch vs 10 inch brake drums. Where was
the cutoff? Casper is in the 16000 range, but appears to have 10
inch drums. Right? Wrong? Do the Datsun Al-Fins fit? Kastner's
book shows Al-Fins going on a TR3A...'tis confusing to old
tired brains...

Bill, TS18010L(O) also has 10 inch drums. I don't knwo where the cut-off
is but I suspect it is after both of our cars. I seriously doubt the
Datsun Alfin drums will fit without changing the brakes over to 9 inch. I
have an Alfin (don't ask why I have only one) and if I were retired I'd go
out and check it against a TR6 drum. I haven't done this but it is my
understanding that the Datsun drums were compatible (with a little
macining) with the 9 inch brakes used on later TR3's thru TR6.
