<VV> Early drums from Z car

[Shaun McGarvey]

...but Zcars used drums on the rear and discs up front where most of the 
stopping power is reqiured. Our cars require more stopping power in the 
rear, so the zcar rear drums may not be up to the requirements of a Corvair 
rear brake.
Early rear brakes wear out about 3x faster than fronts, so I know they're 
taxed more. How would those aluminum drums work on the front of a Zcar?
That said, they can't be any worse than the stock Corvair rear drums can 
they? Those are borderline adequate, according to about 25 years worth of 
spirited Corvair driving in a hilly province.

yea, Vairily ... Shaun
