I need to replace the front brake drums in my '46 Coupe. Is there a new manufactured drum that will substitute?



Thanks,

    I have some new old stock drums here part number 166295, but would be expensive to ship I would imagine.I'm In Australia. Would you like a holiday, come pick them up, take them back as cabin luggage.

    Thanks for all the help. I was able to get a pair from Glen Johnson in Brigham, UT.

    The pickups should have 11 x 1.75 inch brakes same as the Commadore 8. You can substitute stepdown 11x 2 1/4 if you change the backing plate, swap the bearings around and use a double washer behind the nut.
