Yes. '80's model D5 (delivery) jeep. Just had to machine off .030 for backing plate clearance. Still available new. Thanks for the follow up.

Thank you Neal for taking the time to assist another car guy. Unfortunately we don't see much of this level of car guy to car guy assistance in today's society. Thanks again.

I have a reference book which shows brake drums by ID and bolt pattern. I could give you some part numbers and you could go to your local FLAPS, have them pull the drums and measure the hub ID as well as the thickness. I used this reference when I converted my M16 to front disk brakes.

That would be excellent and very much appreciated. Thank you

Changing the theme of the thread slightly - but related, are the Lark 6 cylinder rear drums still around? I have heard for a few years that they are NLA items. Would be interested to know as I am sure I will have to eventually replace mine.

I've been told no aftermarket 9" x 2" drums are being produced hence my dilemma

BTW, I hope members of this Forum don't think I'm a IH Scout guy. The straight axle is going into another '41 Stude Coupe Gasser build I'm doing. I own (2) 3G-Q's and an M15A-20 so don't fret.......

You would probably be better served by going to a Scout parts vendor such as...............https://scoutparts.com/2017_Scoutpar...Catalog/p14072

Thanks Dwain............Been there done that.......the Scout Sites/Forums think the only Scout ever made was a 4x4. So hoping a Lark VI rear drum will work.

Those have HUGE Center holes in them larger than Stude. are they for a Flanged Axle?

Maybe you could hog out the Stude. Center Hole, the Stude. drums were Stud centered.

The 1954 to early 1965 Stude. Sixes have 9 Inch rear Drums for Tapered Axles, the Late '65 to '66 are for Flanged Axles, center holes got larger.

It is hard for Stude. owners to show you a DRUM only, as most of our's are Hub Drum Assy's.

Thanks for your response. The drum mates to a hub and then mounts to a spindle using common TIMKEN bearings/races. I'm a Machinist by trade so I like your idea of enlarging the hub hole if required. As stated my hub hole diameter is 2.813. Do you know what the Lark hole measures?
