No they cannot. The grease baffles, hubs, and drums are all special to the early cars.

The ID of new drums is 11"". New cast iron brake drums should be turned no less than .090"" or to a diameter of 10.910""

I wonder who is writing the catalog for Snyders?

When the drums get "turned" they get bigger, not smaller.
