I think thread locker is the way to go just out of a safety and secure standpoint, but I was curious just for those who go out of their way to keep their Pines bone stock. It's one of those odd pieces you'd expect to have still in production and come in some sort of kit, especially since they're for brakes. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I've never seen them before and it's just interesting to me.As a guess, probably the same metal as the lock tab used on the flywheel bolts - and possibly zinc plated.
Now, is it straight or curved?
What size bolts and holes?
Since the drum is the same and bolted through the existing holes, the bolt circle should be 4.25 inches. Now you just need to figure the chord length of a line segment extending from 0 degrees to 90 degrees for hole center to center distance.
Last thought, do you want it to have the "tabs" or just make it wide enough to use the corners of the strip to be the tabs?
A strip cut from a heavy duty tin can might work, depends on your esthetic priorities.
Thread locker is still a better choice.
Just a thought,
