Default Re: wide 5 brakedrum

The only way to do this would be what racers did when running the wide five pattern hubs. The drums used and still used for the conversion is the good and extremely reliable Buick finned drums they will fit the hubs and work perfectly. Since they were extremely reliable under extreme racing use there's no way on an old Ford you would ever experience any failure. However I know your in a country that expects you to do the impossible since the rules are way out of line for sure. But they sure do look good under an old Ford in my opinion.
