Can anybody ID these rear brake drums on my 61 SC? I can't find any other pics on Samba of these. Anyway, they are not letting my 5 spokes sit flat on the drum. Any suggestions? Thanks

Wheel spacers should alleviate the problem.

Its those three prongs sticking out at the base of the snout. Someone suggested just grinding them down or cutting them off. Not really sure what they do.

Id say grind them down
but if they are "Special"
then think about trading for a regular set
