R51/3 - updating brake system
1. What do you think about such an idea?
2. Do you have any idea what brake assembly can fit? I will be glad to stay with the original rims, of course.
3. Anyone ever tried such an idea?
Thank you very much for any idea, input and so.

Thank you all for your time
Yes, I know that taking the bike through such a change will be a desecration of the bike, but as I mentioned before – I gave up in the run for replacement drums. Not on ebay.de they can be found or other parts suppliers in DE or Huggett at CH.
Anyways, the idea was only a thought, and I don’t think I will do it, finally.
There where semi drums once on eBay, but then again – I can not know for sure the condition and wall thickness, can I.
That’s the reason for looking after new ones.
Have a nice weekend all of you, and please jump in if any new ideas or so.

The problem with the used
Regarding the hubs – currently there’s no one over here in Israel that is skilled with riveting. Those guys disappeared from the landscape, unfortunately, and as these are my brakes where’re dealing with here, I can not take a chance.
I’m ok with complete items – drums riveted to hubs, if there are any out there I probably will purchase them immediately, but they have to be new items. NOS, replicas or AM – but new.
