anyone got any suggestions for finding good quality brake drums? i have a squealing issue going on with one corner and after a look around it today i couldnt find any direct causes other than two cracks in the drum going from the retaining screw holes to the centre. given that the squeal only shows up when its hot and that corner is significantly hotter than the rest after a trip it stands to reason that it has distorted. i have heard loads of horror stories of new drums being oval and poorly machined so i want to avoid that obviously. i wont use britpart, after having their parts fail on me in a couple of nasty ways before i have no trust in them for safety critical parts at all. i also dont want to pay more than i have to if there is no real difference between makes. bearmach have always served me well in the past but it would be good to know if there are any particularly good bets around as if anything deserves the money its the braking system.
