- My TR4 race car has Datsun 280Z rear brake drums. This morning I removed and inspected them, and found that one of them had three cracks across the iron friction face. Yuk. I have used these drums fo

- Having raced 240Z's for some years with rear drum brakes, I can say your problem is not an isolated one, however it has not usually been cause for concern in a race. I have taken many drums off with

- Well it undoubtedly happened during a race. You ain't driving that car on the street. I don't think you're going to have real problems with the drum, even when you see cracks like that. The cast iron

- We had the same problem using 240Z drums on the TR's - the TR shoes are vast compared with the original Datsun items. As you say, the cracks look alarming, but we have not (yet) experienced a major f

- You must open up the center hole a bit, sometimes ream out the wheel stud holes depending on what type of studs you're fitting them to, and widen and deepen the groove into which the backing plate fi
