Front brake drum question
Replacing the front drums on my '61 Apache 10. The original hub assemblies are fastened to the drums with three rivets. The new drums do not have any provision to fasten the drums to the hubs, unless I take them to a machine shop and have them drilled. I personally do not know what the reasoning is to having the drums fastened permanently to the hub, but that doesnt mean there isnt a good reason for doing so. Should I make a trip to the shop, or just skip it? TIA, Tony
