[Amc-list] DRUM BRAKES IN THE RAIN -- OH FUN

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Just fine. Seriously, they've been just fine.  This drilling and
ventilating drum brakes business really works. I can honestly say that
9x2.5" drilled and ventilated drum brakes (all new parts, top-notch
shape) in the front of the little AMerican are just about as good as
discs. I have two disc-converted cars so I do know what I'm talking
about.

"Just about" -- when wet they do exhibit that grabby left/right
pulling that drums do when they dry out. Nothing serious, a hell of a
lot less than regular drums. I've done a bunch of freeway driving in
the rain, and they've been great.

So there's another solution for early Americans. The mods are easy,
you can do it with a $90 drill press.
