What year Fords used the spoked brake drums,on front and rear?

32-34, 1 1/2" shoes, 35, 1 3/4" shoes. Also late 31, but 11" drum and nonexistent.

To add, there are a few rare 35 drums that have "holes" in them and even a wide 5 . some picks...

Opps, wrong pic... I'll look again...

Well, I can't seem to find the pic in my files, but I sold one to Lars, a Swedish member here, perhaps he will have the pic. Its basically a 35 hub with a bolt on drum, very rare, not sure the reason for its manufacture

Skip,
This is the drum I bought from you, an early 1936 wide five rear drum. I can't verify it but I believe that the drum to the left on your pic above was a transition design for end use of excess stock of 35 hubs on 1936 cars.

Well thanks Lars for the correction. Not sure why I was thinking the odd drum was standard 5 on 5.5 pattern. My memory is getting to be like an old ford, low on compression, a bit smokey, and hard to start
