Never heard of that Bruce, thanks. Thought Jerry, with his
vast exposure, would jump in on this discussion to fill in
the blanks.
Seems kind of odd that they would use a steel sleeve in an
aluminum drum with the large spread in the expansion coefficients of each.
That becomes especially problematic when you're talking about
a ring that is 10", 11", 12" or what ever their drum diameter
is.
Think I'd feel more secure with old school two piece or single
piece ferrous drums. But....you know me, I'm not a hot
rodder. And obviously I'm not up on the latest automotive
repair procedures.
However, I am always willing to learn something new. After
googling "Aluminum Brake Drums" I see now that they are not
at all that unusual.
Enough of this silliness.....I'm gonna go out to the barn
and do some real work.
