Just fitted my bearings into the rear hubs and happened to notice there's only one hole for where the drum retaining screw fits but you can see the out line on the hub the oppasite side for where the other hole would have been.never really bothered to notice before but surely if the other was drilled and tapped the drum would sit square and shoes would wear better etc? Should I drill and tapp it? Or am I just looking for things to do 😬

when you do the wheel nuts up, it should hold the drum square,
its my belief that the screw just stops it falling off when you remove the wheel

Very true just happen to notice the mark I'm guessing from the factory and mind started running off thinking about drilling haha
