Read recently in a reputable source that drum brakes are usually lighter than 
disks (one of the reasons drums are still 
used on big trucks).  Seems counter-intuitive to me; can anyone verify or 
refute?

In same article, read the venting drums increases overall effectiveness, esp. 
WRT fade.  Anyone done this with Healey 
brakes?

Bob
