New brake drums - Tony Griffiths - 17-09-2019

Having just fitted some new brake drums I noticed, when mounting one front wheel, that it had spokes with unusually large heads on their inner ends. Some of the heads - but not all - were hard up against the drum's flange preventing the wheel sitting flush against the drum's face. It was only a matter of 25 tho or so, but this is something to perhaps be aware of when fitting new or even old drums.
