    Chinese brake drum issue???? HELP!

    Reply from Mopar Action: "That raised ring is definitely wrong. The two concentric rings on the inside of all '69 and up steelies should rest flat against the drum, clamping it to the axle flange, with zero-nut torque." also, "Aftermarket brake drums with a raised center lip can't work with...

If I just cut the drivers side and use a spare pax side axle doesn't that center the pinion? My 7.25 has the pinion offset approx...
