Drum brakes are just about as ancient as leafsprings and dinosaurs, and where put in museums around the year 1658. Most of the western civiliced world stoped using them around that time and moved on to better things, this has the exception of the occasional colony like India and parts of Africa. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

There is a reason all respectable car manufacturers use rear disks today and that is BETTER BRAKING all of the time not just the first two times. So if you have the time and money go do it, you won't regret it when it's time to service them. You can also trust them after crossing rivers and most wet stuff.

Now there I said it so you drumheads can flame me all you want. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
