10" or 11" brake diameter? for '53 Hudson Hornet front drum springs

Hudson_in_Seattle

hi - when ordering some replacement front drum springs for my '53 hudson hornet, two parts #'s were listed, depending on 10" or 11" brake diameter

- i'm not sure why (i have my guesses)

- please provide correct information on this issue

- thanks for looking!

Are the earlier 1941-47 Hudsons 10 inch ?

i figured either another online parts typo, different year had 10" diameter, different model had 10" diameter

I am not 100% sure, but I think the Pacemaker and Wasp have 10" front brakes.
