Gary_Ash Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Front aluminum drums are OK when turned to 12.090 inch i.d. max, maybe 12.100. Many automotive machine shops can turn the drums for you - and they can measure your drums to see if they are oversize. Don’t cut them unless really scored. Shoes are cheap, drums are expensive. If oversize, see http://jgrelining.com to put new cast iron liners in your drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Ash Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Email is great, but sometimes a phone call produces better results faster. Now that I had some custom aluminum drums made, I do have a bunch of Buick 90-fin drums that I probably won't ever use. Some are still on the steel hubs, others I pressed the studs out and separated drum and hub. Let me know if you need any. Buick 90-fin drum on 1932 Studebaker Indy car replica. Alfin aluminum drums with cast iron liners from Typecast (UK) to Buick 90-fin dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
