Are new brake drums available ?
Hi all,
Does any one know of a source that sells new front and rear brake drums for 33/34 cars ? (to replace stock drums) |

Charlie, the problem with used drums is just that.... they are used drums.
They must have been re surfaced so many times by now that they are all probably beyond their maximum usable diameter. I see new drums available for the model As. Shame no one makes them for the 33/34 cars. Does anyone know the stock drum diameters so that one could check how far they have been re surfaced ? |

Some of those drums were the open type. Here is a link to Vince's site that has ID information. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/3132frontbrakedrums.htm

I did find and read Vince's write up on the subject before. I really don't mind what it looks like as long as it works and I can buy new drums. I see that they make model A drums new (in cast iron) and 1940 drums new. Any idea what it would take to fit 1940 drums on a 33/34 ? |
