since my rims where too small and i couldnt find any interchangeable rear drums i took 2 new drums down to the machine shop today to have the fins ground off. Guy said it would take 2 hrs cuz the lay only cuts .006'' off a turn. so for 2 drums $27 a piece at 60/hr thats a $174 pair of rear brake drums. dang! but is still less than the $416 i have invested in the 2 rims.
