"Sleeving" A- body brake drums?

Mattax said
As a matter of engineering curiousity, there were drums made of aluminum with steel lining. There's pictures in Fred Puhn's Brake book. IIRC this was done for several different cars including some Buicks and Corvettes. Might be interesting to look into how they were made (and if they still are).

Probably about 10 years ago, or so; I investigated a company up for sale near me that relined 8 bolt Pontiac and Buick aluminum drums, they had also done some early Porsche drums. It was a patented process of removing old lineing, pressing in a new one and trueing up the wheel. For $40,00.00 I could have bought the company and process. They had also relined other iron drums; I thought of the possibility of the "Darth Vader" drums as additional items to be done, they weren't on the customer list, just figured no one had asked yet. Didn't buy it due to a poor ROI, would have taken a long time to re-coop $40,00.00 .
