The hubs and drums were fixed together at manufacture with a swaging process on each of the wheel lug studs. This can be replicated if a person gets the correct studs and a swaging tool. It is more common to do this on the later 1940 thru 48 hydraulic type brake drums since reproductions are available for them.
