Yes, Don. The second drum is being made up that way. A hub and drum riveted or welded together, however it's done.

Braking is really important, especially when new cars can stop so much faster, so I'm going with the better material, riveted. In another 30K miles or so I'll have the glue-lined shoes handy if I can't get riveted ones then.

Of course I'll be paying much closer attention to what's going on with my brakes in the future.
