MG MGA - Brake drums

Looking to replace the rear drums on the MGA
LBcarCo has two types at very different prices, so I'm confused.
VB has them for $65 apiece.
Cant find SF website to compare.
Anyone done this recently ?

Art, Here in the UK a set of new rear drums are approx $85 for a pair from Moss (£55 plus 20% vat)

I fitted a new set from Moss a couple of years ago and they have been great.

Just installed my new rear drums and shoes from Moss.
Major improvement - my pulsating has disappeared. I had previously attributed this to the discs. brakes are now wonderful all round.
I made a tool for the shoe retaining springs. Just a 7/16 bolt with a 1/16 slot ground in the end which grabs the spring so you can push and turn at the same time.

Doing this job I discovered several holes in the silencer. Any recommendations for replacement? Looking for a "burbling" sound.
