Neat job, reminds me of my Cooper S days when a set of alloy rear drums was a must have upgrade.

They look very similar to the Alfin drums that I considered for my 4/4 when I was upgrading it. A good find!

Very very nice! I found some in the USA but didn't win the bid, Part numbers are available on Gomog with instructions for machining.

They look the twin of the Alfin alloy ones, been on the mog a few years now . Purchased them off John MacDonald a bit of a pig to keep clean .

Watch out for drum distortion. I purchased a pair of these (also from John Macdonald) many moons ago for my +8. Within a year they had warped quite noticeably and I would was getting a very strong modulation through the brake pedal.
I changed to the different design (suggested by John Mac) offered by Techniques Morgan:
