Functional features of the rear drum cover are the center boss which mounts on the rear axle, the lower opening that allows the Cam actuator to exit the housing (gold piece upper right), The upper two bosses that have rivets mounted in them (these provide pivots for the brake shoes) and the boss extending out to the right in the casting that provides the mounting point for the rear brake stay. One thought is to smooth out the extraneous ribs on the left face of the casting, then drill some uber sweet lightening holes in the face which allow water to get in when it rains, thus cleaning out all the nasty brake dust..... so it serves two purposes, lighter for speed and self cleaning.... Or maybe I just hack away as much of the housing as possible to allow for better air cooling of these hi performance drum shoes.....Decisions, decisions.
