9 inch front drum brakes

I had a bad experience with a 9 incher, and now am scared of them.
One early morning, on my way to work,I was turning a corner perhaps a lil hot with my 69 slanty,lol, on city street. The unloaded,inside wheel assembly exited the wheelhouse halfway through the corner, and passed me by. I saw what happened and time stood still while I pondered my options.There was a filling station on this corner, so I just kept the steering wheel hard over and charged up the driveway and landed it in a good enough spot...........then I went and retrieved my wheel, still mounted to the drum, with the broken spindle base staring me in the face.
I have some spares if you care to order them up. Buyer beware, I guess.

The 73up disc brakes have decent sized spindle bases. I bet they could take a pretty good hit.
