Subject: Re: V12 & LG6 brake drums; lightened v standard?
Hi Bill,
Assuming diameters are identical, it shouldn't take long for the shoes to bed in. One drum is a little scored so another aim is to swap that around so that fresh shoes attack the high points.
Unfortunately I don't have the machinery required to drill the drums. They would need to be as the originals, where the holes are very large, 4" diameter, stepped to accept the sprung aluminium lids. Slight error could lead to balancing issues, so could be fraught!
