Are the Tinnertman Nuts really necessary for anchoring the brake drums? I found they are not installed on my brake drums. In the past I always replaced them when I pulled the drums. They just don't look like they are needed.
 
I think they were only put on there on the assembly line to keep the drums from falling off until the wheels were mounted.
I agree with you, they aren't needed now.

The frame is assembled up side down, then turned before body drop. The nuts were to prevent the drums from falling off at that point.
 
I always took them off and tossed them. I've never seen anyone put them back on and they are tough to get off in 1 piece.
 
Where can you buy these in smaller sizes? I have some control cables I'd like to anchor down to the arms that they attach to.
