35 Drums on 36 spindles
Hello fellow Ford nuts. I need your help with this one.
I want to use the 35 ford 5-1/2 bolt pattern wheels on my 36 instead of the wide 5s and keep the mechanical brakes. So my question to ya'll is.....Will 1935 Ford front brake drums fit on 1936 spindles? I understand that the spindles are the same with the exception of the 35 snouts being 5-5/8 and the 36 being 5-3/8.....Do i need to make any mods to make this set-up work? If so, what mods? Thanks for any help.. John in central Texas "Its never too late to have a happy childhood" |

Also, another word of caution, if you mount '40-'48, 5 on 5-1/2 wheels on '35 hub/drum assemblies without removing the nubs/projections, it will bend the center of those wheels when the lug nuts are drawn down tight. Don't ask me how I know this since I don't want to embarrass an old friend

Re: 35 Drums on 36 spindles
Being a machinist & thinking about it, as the ‘35 drums are desirable as Newc says & you don’t want to alter them I would think you could buy a set of the support rings & modify them with relief in the positions where the nubs on the ‘35 drums are?
