Yes, we all know your about your bad experiences with drum brakes, I myself have had one or two, the same situation, almost, with disc front brakes. If you don't know any better, you can feck it up setting up either type, as you see on this website every so often... . .You guys can laugh about drum brakes, but I cannot. My excuse for using them is I did not know any better. What is yours' ?
When I think of the racing I did between 1965 and 1975, I just feel sick. I should be dead. I was only seriously injured once, but that time I went very close.
You don't appear to have had, down under, any drum brakes specialist who could reline your brake shoes for you, like in the UK, but even they did work from overseas. One firm even had their own race van that went round the race circuits in the late 1950s, complete with a lathe in the back, offering a brake relining service. I doubt if you had anything like that?
