ooppps, Ok lets start here to determine what is what, When you took your drums apart from the hub, was the drum over the hub or under the hub? This will identify if you purchased the correct replacement drums for the hub you have on your car. If the drums you removed from your car had the drum bell over the hub and studs it is the earlier version unit used from 1940 thru 46 and is refered to as 21a style. If the drum you removed was under the hub and the hub face exposed to the wheel flange, this is the later style 47-8 style, refered to as the 51a style. If you have purchased a 51a style drum it will not index correctly with the 21a style hub so there is more of a problem. So before this gets too complicated what drum style did you start with???
