Brake parts arrived!

Soo - I ordered the south african drums for the rear because it seemed they are the most apt to be true, and perhaps longest lasting (and more fade resistance).  Ordered last week from Van Cafe and arrived today!

Old:

New in box:

Nice!

Very pretty - too nice to install.  I may have to paint with clear coat to keep them shiny.  I noticed right away that they won't fit over the shoes as they are, which is good and tells me there is some difference from what I have now.

You may have noticed that the studs are short.  For one I don't have the drum all the way in.  But yes, they need to be replaced with longer studs.  So, next step is removing the hub and studs...  but that is for another day.
