The one set of alfin drums I've seen had the fins circumferential, rather than radial as in the picture on e-bay.; /html/fot/2006-05/msg00026.html (7,780 bytes)

Are they a direct fit or do them have to be tweeked (machined)? Would the Triumph units have a part number or 'Stanpart' marking on them?? Jack; /html/fot/2006-05/msg00029.html (9,245 bytes)

Now I am curious. How do you get a 10" drum to fit over the stock 9" backing plate and pads? Clearly it is not going to work for stock Stanpart parts,; /html/fot/2006-05/msg00052.html (9,943 bytes)
