Our experience here (In Iowa) is that many of the drums are siezed on the
donor car, and get damaged upon removal.
We have a couple Zs here locally in a yard and the success rate has not been
good in removal. I bought an entire car...for a number of reasons...but at
least in part to get a pair of those for one of the listers. I dont think we
had any success on those either.
Yup, Open the I.D of the hub hole and the stud holes. Also it requires a
small amount of relief to clear the brake backing plate on the TR.
We could use a pair in WI, at least...if somebody comes across any...or a
name... or a number.
