One other big advantage of the Type 3 drums over Type 1 drums is that they are not held on to the ends of the axles with those famous 250+ ft-lb nuts. Instead, a hub/flange is bolted in place instead. The outer flange of the hub is drilled/threaded for the stock 4on130mm bolt pattern but the drum simply slips over the hub like they do on the rear drum brakes on a pick-up truck. This makes doing proper visual brake inspections and/or repairs a much simpler task.
