Abstract
A composite brake disc and drum assembly for a motor vehicle having a rear disc brake system and a parking brake system. The assembly includes a body of a first material having a mounting web, a skirt and a flange. The skirt extends from the perimeter of the mounting web and cooperates therewith to define a brake drum. The skirt has an inside surface which defines a cylindrical braking friction surface for engagement with the parking brake shoe. The flange extends outward from the skirt and at least one annular plate is supported by the flange so as to extend in a plane generally perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The plate includes a surface defining an annular braking friction surface for engagement with the disc brake pads.
