Quote: Now now guys, keep it serious please. How about drilled rear drums?
That may not be too bad of an idea. It will let some of the heat trapped within the drum to leave. Just put it on the drum face. That shouldn't be a critical spot.
holes for drum cooling have been around forever. mostly used in the backing plate, but i have seen holes in all areas of the drum[including the friction area] also. some applications work, some don't. i have personally seen blowed up rotors and drums with, and without holes[slots]in them. as i am no engineer[but like feets, i know a bunch of 'em and some couldn't figure out a way to walk around a post], but observe the world around me and [try to] do stuff that works for the application at hand, and avoid the things that don't. and as a side note, i have done FUN things at times, then afterward wonder if that should have happened..........
