ALLOY DRUM PROTOTYPE INSTALLED!

Well, it's been a bit of a gap since our last post, it's summer after all and we've been enjoying a bit of a vacation, but we're back now and happy to post or next update...

Fresh back from a visit to Prince Edward County, we returned with the first set of alloy brake drums produced by Len Pearcey. They look superb, as can be seen by this photo. Some minor machining is being done to make them fit the very early backplate style, but this is minor.

Next step will be to install some shoes then test the fit and free-running. A second set machined for the later style backplate is already finished and will be sent off shortly to a Mike Rambour in California for his 1934 Singer Le Mans restoration.
