Here's the story. Apparently when I last drove the car (1979) I had welded the shoes to the drum. <so I'm told> After some prying and choice words we were able to look at the damage to the drum. I'm being told it is to damaged and I need to find a new rear drum. Most of you know that I'm trying to go back to as close to original as I can. Here is the problem. I can't seem to find one that has the outer coil wrapped around the drum. I'm finding newer fin type. Here's where you guys come in. <smile> Are the newer fin types designed to (a) reduce noise and (b) dissipate heat. If anyone can tell me where to I can find the coil wrapped ones, I'd appreciate it. If not, what is my best option?
