Getting the lining bedded in is essential. A chap I know with a 6-inch brake car built as a replica of a 1923 Works racer had the inside of this new drums lightly bead blasted. After just a few applications there was near to 100% bedding and the brakes were very effective - though, of course, it is a very light car.
