Guest Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 I need a front brake drum , a lineing rivet must have come out and groved the drum. I have a 48 continental with 12 inch front drums . Thaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Hi Scott, your calamity may not be all that bad, if it is just the usual one rivet gouge in the drum, you can replace the bad lining and continue to run the gouged drum, it will not affect your stopping at all, and will do no further damage, at least it never did for me, I hardly ever had brake drums turned, just found it wasn't necessary, just one man's opinion, of course, oh yes, some one produces a sleeve that can be installed in the original drum, I believe it is available for 12" Buick brakes, check with a brake supply, Rolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
