okay, so i went to put the new drums on my '72 rear yesterday, and the drums don't have the "knock-out" holes that allow you to adjust the brake shoes...my drums came from Carquest....upon researching other parts stores, they seem to have the same issue...since i'm on a time schedule, my dad is just going to have the holes machined...but i was curious whether anyone else has dealt with this problem, & what did you do? do any of the aftermarket restoration suppliers (ECE, Classic Parts, etc.) carry a drum that is correctly machined?
