Ha! Very funny... However appearance is not the issue. The flared drums dissipate heat more rapidly than the non-flared drums creating the possibility of uneven braking with a flared one on one side and non-flared one on the other side.

Someone contacted me off list who has the correct drums. I may purchase all four for the extra margin of safety the extra cooling will provide.

Have a great day
Brad

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a rear brake drum
for my 66 Crown?  I've called several of the vendors listed on the IML
site with no success.  The drums on my car are not the originals and
are not flared so clearly there is a substitute that will work, I just
don't know what they came off of.  I'd prefer to get one that is not
flared, otherwise I'll have to buy two flared ones to keep both sides
consistent.

Thanks
Brad
