Default Re: Brake drums

I don't know how many cast iron drums for model A cars are being produced in this day and age. From most reports, the Gross (Mel & son Randy) drums are made deliberately undersize so that they can be trued back to nominal size. I gather the undersize is around 0.020" and most reports indicate that they seem to be made to very good tolerances. If a person purchases from them, the price is about the best out there. Their services for drum to hub assembly and shoe fitting are also worth mentioning.
