Thanks, now I will have to worry about that. Well, off to the shrink, I need to talk about this.
You bet.
One or two ply? Make a difference you know......
and how many .001s thick.
I like the stuff on a roll.
I know how to seperate the drums from the hubs, what I didn't know was that you could use standard drums on the spindles/backing plates for the bell shaped ones
As long as the same drum size IE brake shoe dimensions are the same you can. That's why sometimes you find one "bell" on a car and three regular ones.
That's some bad tp there. I don't understand how they can make it so thin. It's so thin you can see both sides of it at the same time.
Same with Nam...
hmm, any idea how close to the same dimensions they have to be?
Regular Drums(closest i could find to the same spec) Bell Shaped Drum dimensions
11.42 in OD 11.56 in OD
Height 3.68in 3.69 in
10.00 ID 10.05 ID
Max Diameter: 10.06 10.09
Friction Surface: 2.90in 3.25 in
Hub Reg: 2.81 in 2.81
Bolt size: .64 in .64 in
well the forum changed the formatting, biggest differences are in OD and friction surfaces. is that close enough?
No Idea just used to order them from the pars stores. Not sure if they interchanged with the back. Mitch you remember?
oh @toolmanmike if you ever do get a 64 440 car, when you're doing your parts search, use a 64 polara. Parts are identical but if you search for a 440 model, you dont get near as many results, even though they are the same car minus trim and tailights.
I think it was all the ID if I remember right. 10x2 lets say.
the brake shoes come back for both at 10 x 2.5 in. i'm thinking you're right and the regular drums will fit. They're only 27 bucks so may as well give one a try and see what happens. much better than $135.99
as for the front of the hub hitting the cap, I wonder if I can have a machine shop take the 1/4 i need and then do the smaller dust cap as suggested above
that's a serious spindle problem
Look at trailer dust caps I have used them in the past. Just need to figure out the dimensions.
Keefer they were 11 not ten still want them?
Fixed it
You're only talking .140" difference on OD...
Do you have .070" extra clearance around the drum??? Most likely it will not be a problem as that should be clearance to the rim and should have plenty for the "larger" OD one to work...
