[QUOTE="oexing, post: 137098, member: 1493"] I would drill these holes anyway, cannot do any harm. My idea is not so much to drain any water but to have a chance to get brake dust out. I got some drum brakes with holes , or did drill them - never been blocked by dust. So I´d add them. When having air scoops on brake plates there could be another use for bigger holes - for improving air cooling. The big Fontanas have their air exit in the middle of the hub through slots cast-in, no exits at the rear of the brake plate. So that is what one could copy - sort of - by drilling bigger holes in the drum to go with scoops. Vic [/QUOTE]
