Guffin Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 The brake drums of mu Buick 32-87 are worn out. Is it possible to repair brake drums? My drums was, according to the shop that should put new lining on, destroyed by using old type of woven linings. These type of linings becomes very hard with time and use up the drum.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron of Chicago Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 If you do a search with "brake drums" as the key words, you will find a post going back to 2/15 and 2/16 titled "Metalizing" they talked about this very thing and an interesting read.Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Cast Iron is the way to go. It will wear better than carbon steel or stainless while providing the necessary heat transfer to make your brakes last longer. Cast iron pipe can be used to make sleeves.Mark Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
