Thanks very much for all the info!
drum brake sizes?
I am having trouble being sure of front & back brake drum sizes.
They measure 10″ but should they be 1 3/4″ width or 2 1/4″ width?
Where best to get front drums with hubs or rear drums?
Mine is a 66 289 v8 200hp 2v
Fantastic info!
Thx!
Regards from Sweden
