Default Re: Can I use new cast brake drums with old shoes?

I have modern shoes, cast iron drums, and self centering tracks. All rods straightened (they bend more than you would think), new bushings, new pins, everything adjusted up without the suspension hanging. What a difference! A bit of cash, and a bit of time, but well worth it. If you ever drive an A owned by a member of your club, and it has cast iron drums you are gonna want them.

I had the bands before, and they are a waste of time.
