Hi all.

Upon seeing this, I thought it was a crack. Is it? Or is it a casting void?

Close up image of brake drum ID (scratches are made by me with emery
cloth and hand scraper):

Found this on other drum. Sure looks like a casting flaw (void). Image:

I don't see heat damage at shoes but then I don't have a lot of experience
thus no real point of reference as to what glazed shoe linings look like.

Thanks,

Neil.
