And that's OK. I just think it would help in your search if you were looking for "late '31 brake drums".

My car came with a set of these on the front. Thanks for posting. I’ve asked about them in the past and could not find anyone who recognized them.

If they are the same as the 1936 front hub nut covers, I have two I will send you for postage. They are even sand blasted.

never mind ...

I posted about 1928 to 1931 brake drums being 11 inches diameter and 1932 up being 12 inches but that was not the question. (28 until some time in 31 drums were steel)
