Picture request of drum brakes ( drilled backing plates )

I just scored a pair of 40 backing plates , & want to give them the swisscheese efect . Want to see some pictures . Also I welcome any advice .

 

here are the pair we did for my 29 roadster project

 

here is the ones we did for my roadster project

 

COOL , to the machine shop I go .

 

Here's the ones I drilled for my A.

I run fenders so you can't really see them on the car.

I spent 20 minutes with a sharpie and a small washer making patterns
and spacing before I finally decided on the Fan.

 

Any body else got pic's ?

 

Heres a pic of the ones going on my coupe. I cant take credit for the holes though. These were given to me by a friend. They Came off of the Wright/Blairs roadster that they ran in Bonneville in 54. I guess they use to just stand on them and drill them..HAHA old school.

 

Miller Special

 

smaller holes, but lots of 'em.
still have to drill some around the edge

 

used a sharpie and a punch for cicle diameter

 

Savage wins ! So nice he did em' twice!

My advice, save the time and trouble and run open backing plates. Look cool and run cool .
