Good point!! I've installed Speedway's drum retainers on early Ford's that have hydraulic brakes. They are designed to bolt to the two top wheel cylinder bolts by using slightly longer than original bolts. On my cars that still have mechanical brakes, there is no convenient way to attach drum retainers.
