The Brake drums are similar front and rear. They comprise inner and outer plates with a stack of discs to give the overall effect. Some of the parts are not flat as received but just need some gentle pressure to straighten.

You're right that it's a shame to cover all the detail up My plan is to display with a couple of the body panels removed to show details along one side of the car.
