The alloy rear drums come from a Datsun 280Z of yesteryear. I bought several (8) from a wrecking yard some years ago. About 4 of them were useable and now on Loretta's 1958 +4-4Str. I was also able to buy several pair of new drums at a national Parts Supplier at a fair price. Since this purchase I have not been able to find them.

They are intended for 70-78 240/60/80Z'S.

They have to be modified to fit a Morgan.
(http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/datsunbrakedrums.html)

I know of a '65 4/4 and a '71 +8 that have them. Beyond that, I have no information.
