Need some help identifying these hubs/drums
 

1 Attachment(s)
I realize this are early, but I am a '40 guy so I don't have much experience with older Fords. So what year or years would these be ? Thank you.

They look like the ones on my '34....I think they're common to 35's as well. '32 to '35???

To my eyes they look like 32-34.

What width shoes would they be for?

Measure the depth for a "close" figure.

Definitely 32-34... 35 are similar but easily identified in as much as they are ribbed.

If they measure 11 inches they are late '31...if they measure 12 inches they are '32 or later...

They measure about 11 3/4" in depth, so would those be A or later EV8 ? Thank you all !

The 11" or 12" measurement referred to above is the inside diameter of the drum where the brake shoes/linings fit, not the depth of the drum/hub assembly. Further, nothing after the '32-'34 version have that identical exterior appearance.

I think it may be a mis spelling of 1-3/4" If that is the width they are 32-34 and made for 1-1/2" shoes.

Mart,


That makes sense (that it isn't eleven, but rather one).

Re: Need some help identifying these hubs/drums
 

To clarify what I mean by depth; The width of the swept area of the brake shoe in the ID of the drum is 11 3/4". So are we in agreement they are '32-34 ? Thank you.

Re: Need some help identifying these hubs/drums
 

Like Mart said do you mean 1 3/4" width not 11 3/4" and what is the diameter?

russcc 05-15-2021 09:01 AM

Re: Need some help identifying these hubs/drums
 

Sorry, the width of the swept area for the shoes in the ID of the drum is 1.750, or 1 3/4".

Re: Need some help identifying these hubs/drums
 

The easiest dimension for establishing whether or not they are Model A drums or '32-'34 drums is the inside diameter of the swept area. If that diameter is not 12" or a slight fraction over 12" (from wear) then they are not '32-'34 drums.

Re: Need some help identifying these hubs/drums
 

Thank you. I miked the ID of the swept area and it was 12.000", which makes sense as the OD is thick. I have several other pairs and they are all over 12.000" ID. I appreciate everyone's help and patience.

DavidG 05-15-2021 06:59 PM

Re: Need some help identifying these hubs/drums
 

'32-'34 and if you want to sell those measuring 12.000" that are not scarred, I'm your buyer, please.
