    Urgently required - Rear brake drums for 63 Wildcat. 62-64 should fit. Must be under 12.08" diameter (Max allowable per Buick specs). I went to get my car certified in New Zealand today and the REAR drums are out-of-spec, being nearly 12.20". Need a set of two for certification. Or does anyone know of crossover parts to Chevy bits. Oddly the front drums are fine.

    TrunkMonkey Totally bananas

    I pulled my rear end, including drum brakes off of my 1964 Skylark and replaced with Strange rear end and Wilwood brakes.

    If the 1964 Skylark drum brakes will work, I'll let you have everything you need for the cost of shipping.

    Just let me know what you need.

    Thanks for the offer but I'm pretty sure the Skylark uses the 5 x 4.75 PCD bolt pattern while the full size cars use the 5 x 5 pattern. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong :)

    The Skylark rear brakes, asides from the bolt circle, are 9 1/2" x 2". The Wildcat is 12"x2".
