Hi,
All the Datsun racers tell me that parts cars are so cheap, they just buy and strip what they need and scrap the metal. My suggestion would be to track down some Datsun guys and offer appropriate choice of beverage or monetary amount.
Pretty sure you have a TR6, so the 9" 240/260/280 Z drums are the perfect choice. If you can't get Alfin, there are new steel drums available like everywhere.
Regards,Bob Lang

Not sure i would bother with rotors. Machine shop labor costs so much it’s probably cheaper to replace. Stock ones are only $30 each.I’ve been using slotted ones - everything seems to work better for longer- but even those might be disposable, sad but true.

I’d love to hear who you end up going to and how it works out. I’ve got a couple of GT6 drums and some GT6 rotors I’d like to have turned.

Subject: Re: [Fot] Brake drum reclining
This one is someone I met at a Brit car show this summer. I have not done any biz with him but his samples looked well done. James Erwin - Surface Refinishing Technology - located Elburn IL - 630 207 6076 His website doesn't list drum relining but he does do it.
Tell him I sent you, Apex2Apex Motorsports
Cheers,
Ralph

Amici,
Any recommendations for a brake drum relining company? I use the Datsun aluminum rear drums.
Thanks,
Todd
