Default Brake Drum Retainer

I would like to see some photos, plans, or sources to buy or make safety retainers that would hold the rear drum in place in case the rear axle would break.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Peace

Here's a photo of the Speedway retainer. When you break an axle, it makes no difference as to how tight the nut is.

I think someone on the HAMB is making them or check on the EV8 forum.

What type of brakes do you have? Mechanical? Hydraulic (what year)?
