Aussi John 1 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Does anyone know if cast iron brake drums are being produced for 29-30 model Presidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Originals not cast. Stamped steel. And no. Cast drums started in 32 for Studebaker. Edited September 16, 2019 by studerex (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussi John 1 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi Rex I am aware of that. What I want to know is does anybody make cast iron replacement drums to suit 1929-30 Presidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I've never heard of anyone reproducing them. There might be a truck drum that would fit. Are yours shot? I do have them for wood or wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussi John 1 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Thanks Rex No My steel drums are OK. I initially had non standard splined hubs with cast iron brake drums, which I have recently changed back to the original steel drums and bolt on wheel;s Although the car stops now, it does not stop as well as it did with the cast iron drums. It would be nice to have cast iron drums, when driving in the modern traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
