Austria....... About as far from the US as Australia. I feel your pain mate. How about modifying your heading bar so it shows your location. It sort of makes things easier when you are trying to explain your problems. Just a suggestion.
Now, seeing as you are in Austria, maybe you could think about this. I understand that early Porsche cars had aluminium brake drums with iron liners and that there is an industry in Germany who restores (relines) those early drums.
Maybe if you approached one of those companies, they might be able to help you. I'd be interested to hear what you find out.
Good luck
