My 67 Wildcat has one worn rear drum. I’m fine with used parts but I can’t locate any, even on eBay . Is there any newer drums that may fit ??
These guys reline brake drums, and offer to buy them. Maybe they’ve got one or at least a lead to one? https://www.jgrelining.com/
Do not buy the ones from kantner....they are horrible. 1) they don't balance them and 2) the hub is super thick because they are made of cheap steel so it makes the wheel studs too short.....absolute junk!!
TJinMobile, I have one (1) last N.O.S. Only -- that I haven't been able to "pair up" for a decade... The answer to your prayers -- one single Rear Brake Drum..... Always best to simply call me --- Craig --- 516 - 485 - 1935...... And, NO, nothing else fits -- 1965 - 1970 Buick Electra, Wildcat, LeSabre, and Riviera --- ALL --- ONLY --- 12" x 2".....
Sorry, I have been away. My job and family requires my full attention most of the time. I’m thankful for all your advice. I am not looking to spend a fortune on this $1000 car. I was hoping for a cheap acceptable used drum just to get me to cruising. If you see anything in this description keep me in mind. Thanks
I have a few. Shipping would be costly depending on where you live. They are HEAVY. I'm in Conn. Tom T.
Notice their "Use in Pairs" --- because they are WRONG --- as bostoncat68 told you up above, STAY AWAY from the Chineseum wrongly made reproductions..... I have one (1) NEW and Tom T. Has chimed in that he has used ones... Mine is N.O.S. NEW and Perfect..... Keep in mind, whether you paid $ 1 for a car or $ 1 million Brakes are Essential ...... Yours, Craig.....
There's only ONE manufacturer for these drums & are carried by MANY vendors. They are ALL JUNK China parts. Best would be the ONLY ONE Craig has or a GOOD used OEM one. Tom T.
I would ask any vendor if 1) the drum is guaranteed to be fully balanced and 2) how thick is the drum at center. The ones I purchased are so thick that they make the studs too short. One drum was so far out of balance I sent pics and got a Replacement one sent....that one still required stick on weights to balance. The first was probably a pound or more out of balance. It was crazy. One day I will toss them away... total junk
Yay.... found what I needed. Cost $30 plus $30 shipping. Found here... https://roe-recycledoriginalequipment.com/ if you are looking for any hard to find parts you should check them out
