Part 6 & Last: From the French & Italian Car Show


Brake Drum from a 50's Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Veloce.  The drum is alloy with a steel liner for the pad contact surface and a steel reinforcement for the area that meets the hub/wheel...  Overall, it's very light (compared to cast iron drums that I've picked up before...).  Very nicely cast and designed/finned...


It's been "cleaned" and a protectant has been applied (keep the steel parts from corroding).  Don't know what I'll do with it yet...  Wall display?  Base for something?
