Any company that uses the term "billet" in their ads looks
like they are mainly aimed at the motorcycle crowd. I thought

Yes, that is their main business. They can (and have, for me) make a
vintage quad leading shoe cable actuated road racing drum brake work
every bit as well as a dual disc system. There are numerous people
who have had Vintage Brake turn their nearly useless Tost brake into
something that actually works, and they do it for a reasonable and
don't take forever.
