Do you have a pic?

The finned one could be a couple of things.

Im wondering if HR or Torana drums are interchangeable with EK/FB.

Im told some XU1s had finned drums,(but dont know for sure).
I also have a set I pulled off a HR which I have seen advertised in old late 1960s Aust Hot Rodding magazines as aftermarket performance parts.

Excuse my ignorance.I dont own and never have owned an EK or FB.

But dont worry,its on my bucket list.

i think maybe a repco or simular company offered finned drums off the shelf in the 60s and 70s, they made them for falcons and valiants

I have finned drums on the front of my FB and also a spare finned FC drum. I heard they were a repco after market drum also Taxis had finned drums?

I thought maybe EJ/EH drums may fit as they have the same width shoe and the same internal drum size, but run a longer trailing shoe ?
