Subject: Re: V12 & LG6 brake drums; lightened v standard?
I would have thought that it was better to leave the drums where they are because all the linings and drums will now be nicely bedded in.
If you simply want lightened (ie drilled) drums on the front why dont you drill appropriate holes in the standard drums ? This is not as difficult as it sounds if you have access to a small milling machine or decent pillar drill. I have done this on a number of drums for a couple of cars (not Lagonda) and can be done with a decent (Bosch) "hole saw". Or you could use a Mag Drill if the drum metal is sufficiently magnetic to allow the drill base to "grip".
