Brakes: 10 inch rear drum?

[drrebob]

Anybody have a 10 inch rear drum in good condition, smooth type, no fins?

I didn't reply completely to your message. The 10 inch rear brake hardware I'm using is from a later model Stude, 2 inch linings with star wheel adjusters. One drum was fine, but the other is pretty badly scored. The outer rim for the drum has a flange that fits under the curved rim of the backing plate.

OK, so that means that the smooth 10 inch Hub & Drum Assembly you need is going to be a '54-'66 because you or someone has installed late type backing plates, shoes etc. on your '53. No problem just needed to know which it is, thanks.

Rich:

Hope you're dug out ok, and the ice melt hasn't caused havoc. I recall some horrendous ice storms from years living in Portland.

Have you located a 10 inch rear drum yet?

Bob; A PM was sent to you today.

Rich:

A guy has offered me a nice used drum that has already been turned for $100, so I guess I'll go that route. If that doesn't work out, will be back to you for the NOS drum.

Boy I sure would love to get $100.00 for a used drum, got a lot of them and turning them is no problem, win some lose some.
