[Fot] Al-Fin Drums

[Marcel Van Mulders]

Years ago, Moss Europe was selling Alfin drums with radial fins, only good
for looks but not for racing.
Now, Moss is selling Alfin drums with circumferential fins, just like the
factory option : these are very strong and longlasting in racing. I made a
big hole in the backplate (1.5") and a row of 1/3" holes in the drums. I
believe these holes are a great help for cooling by air circulation inside
the drums

I think that I removed almost a half inch of material off to clear the
backing plate. The drums were inexpensive and had Centric packaging. I could
get the part number if need be.
