Brake Drums
« on: April 19, 2017, 04:11:21 AM »
I am in need of a pair of rear brake drums for my 51 Henry J. To make it a roller, when I bought it the previous owner torched the drums around the axles.  Thanks

Roller ...?...? no need for drums.... UNLESS ya need to  have brakes too.
I split my drums AWAY from the hub, so the drums are NOT attached to the HUB, then taped the holes and bolted the DRUMS back on, I drive mine so it needs  to be able to stop.
alohageen is here to help,
a little help goes a LONG way...

                 I don't have the drum numbers you asked for and need but I'm sure an HJ guy will be happy post that here for you.

To follow up off topic.............. I'm curious what the function of is of taping brake drum holes?
