Yes, Aluminum rear drums with steel friction surfaces. Used to
be the "hot" setup before they brought disc brakes to the Mini. They
were marketed as "minifins" and were pushed for legalization on the
HProduction Bugeyes and Mark I Midgets before disc brakes. When disc
brakes were legalized, the racers never changed the rule book. Thus, you
can run an optional part from the early '60's. That is, when you can
find them.
