    Hi folks,

    I have 3 aluminum front drums that came off a 69 Electra. I know they fit others year big Buicks (68-72?).

    The drums can be "officially" cut a maximum of .090," though, of course, many folks cut them .120" or more, w/o any issues.

    Two of my drums have been cut to the .090" level and are scored only a minor degree--they would probably clean up with a very light cut of between .005" and .010," or even just "roughing up" the surface with my die grinder and a course 3M 2" disc. I use that method when I just want to breake the glaze on drums and rotors.

    The other drum has been already cut to around .110" if my memory serves correctly. It, too, is not grooved and would clean up w/ a light cut on the lathe.

    What are these drums worth? I know they are not available anymore, and the junkyard prices vary from $35.00-$225.00!
    What would be a fair price for my drums? They are just lying around the garage and I would love to help someone out who needs them.

    Thanks!

    Best,
