p24-1953 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 how difficult is it to get replacement drums for ourcars? the brake shop told me my rears were getting pretty thin after this last turning and would reccomend that i start finding a new set. is there a interchange that i can pick up at the local auto parts place?

james49ply Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Yes, replaced my rear drums from Kanter, $300, got the drums only, I removed the rivits and pulled off the old drum, hard to line up the bolt holes without the stud that was there, but the work great. Quote
randroid Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 p24, Seems as though with members here switching to disc brakes the drums should be available for the asking. I have a pair of front drums that can easily be converted to rears for which I'm asking $40+S newly turned, and if you ask around you could certainly beat that price. -Randy Quote
p24-1953 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Posted October 2, 2012 i didnt know that the fronts could be converted. How do you go about doing that? Quote
RobertKB Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 I have a set of rears that are available. They are still on a '54 Plymouth parts car but I never seem to have trouble pulling them. PM if interested and I will pull the drums and check on condition. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 My fronts and rears are quite different. Knocking the hubs out won't do it. Quote
