Brake Drums
I plan to buy new cast brake drums. Is there any reason why I can't install my current hubs on the new drums? The hubs are fine but the drums are a little thin. Will the normal studs work?

Re: relay wire
Thanks Guys
Looks like there is a terminal on both ends. I'll take the cut out off and see which one is NOT connected to the generator and hook up the horn,terminal and light withers there.
