Small bolt pattern Brakes.

I had new SBP Cragers and converted to SBP SSBC discs last winter so i wouldn't have to get new wheels. Cost was a few hundred more for SBP ( around $1100.00), but well worth it since I didn't have to buy new wheels. And my Demon stops on a dime now.
 
I will take those cragers off your hands for free but I will pay the shipping if that helps you out. Also you may try napa, I know a local old parts store that may have them he carries invertory for 60 year old cars, they are in lewistown pa 717-248-5483 Stoychefs parts I bet 10 dollar they have them.

I just called and they do not have them. He checked both from 65 to 69 and 70 to 72. no go. 10 dollars
 
I installed the 10 X 2 1/2 on my vehicle and they work FINE ... the shoe contact point is in the center of the drum ... I could see if contact point was bias to one side may cause an issue .. I cannot see a problem happening ...
 
Explain the trouble in the future ? Do you recommend a 2 inch show that fits ?

Dave, I know where you can score a new set of the correct rear drums but they are pricey. Send me a pm if you are interested and I will let you know where they are.

Hopefully you don't get named in a lawsuit for promoting these when something happens to someone.

10X 2 1/2 sbp you can purchase .. on ebay ... i did and they work ...

Wrong width drums will eventually cause a tapered condition.

I would think Bendix, Wagner as well as EIS are experts in this field.

I would guess they aren't talking about a drum that is any where near 3/4 of an inch too wide.
 
NOT promoting anybodies parts .... If you look at any drum to shoe contact point ... there is NOT one shoe that contacts drum surface from end to end ...
AND basically OLDCARCOLLECTOR .. any members that makes a recommendation on this site is liable ??? ex; recommending a later model year master cylinder on earlier model year vehicle with an adapter plate installed between bulk head and master ???
IF that is the case .... you might aswell shutdown this site ? were all getting sued ...

You are definitely promoting a part that could cause injury and it isn't backed up by a company holding a liability for it.
 
EBAY is promoting the seller aswell as the part .. DO THEY LOOK WORRIED ??? ... i am telling you what worked for me .... I do not have him in a headlock forcing him to buy the drums ... What part of this do you not understand .. Don't you have somebody to scam car salesman

eBay has a disclaimer in the user agreement.

My sole concern is not getting people hurt so when you post that brake drum information to others, I have to give them all the information showing what could happen since they are too wide for the brake shoes.
 
People recommend stuff on this site all the time that does not belong on stock vehicles ... DO YOU GET ON THERE case ???? a simple modification from 14 inch to 15 inch wheels is a major change in a vehicles engineering .. is it not ?????
Just get off your high horse and let people make there own decision .. since when did you become a policeman ????? of the website ... Boy i would like to see the MODS/jerryrigs you make to some of the used vehicles you sell ???
Enough said ...go sell a clunker ...
 
I have several sets taken off in the 70's like new I have been selling. Looks like the sale is over. I didn't know the liability or the rarity. There are still 27 drums here. Now they will make nice post bases for the plastic chains around the car at shows.
Who ever was coming for drums don't bother they are not for sale anymore. Nor is any other brake parts.

They are very rare and need to go back in circulation if you aren't going to use them. There is no problem for the right drum new or used. The drums he is promoting is 3/4" wider than the correct brake drums.
 
Not sure how I did it but last year I bought a set from AZ for a 71 dart SBP 8 3/4 and had no issues whatsoever.
 
Stinks they list something as compatible that won't work...Thanks for all the info...I'm going to let the store manager know...maybe someone can convince whoever is making these drums to make some that'll fit our our 5x4 sbp...

This is not the only Mopar brake-related part that is consistently mis-listed. In fact, I suspect the reason this particular drum is out of production is because it was shown as something else in the majority of parts books, and therefore retired because it didn't have very many applications. But master cylinders, front drums, front disks, front brake hoses and a host of small parts are also scrambled in the books, mainly for the years 1967-69, but some through 72.
 
Got my new complete rear brakes and new axles today from DR Diff. They look fantastic. $350 for the rear brakes complete, and $465 For axles New master cyl and rear brake lines.
