[bradnree]

What is the difference in diameter of the brake drums between a 1953 6 cyl car and an 8 cyl car ??

Are they different ???

[64V-K7]

From my pristine 1953 Motors Manual.....
Brake Linings
Model length width

Champion 18 1/2" 2
Commander 22 1/4" 2 *rear is 18 1/2"
Doesn't say anything about diameter of the drum tho, but from the figures, the Champ looks to be a 9" drum and the Commander a 10" in front, 9" rear
