Re: 1947 Sedan rear brake drums
CAS, I agree withyou in that I want someone who has experience with these drums –they are different. I am not familiar with brake lathes and how theywould center the drum. I believe I can come up a sacrificial axleshaft if needed. RICH, thanks for pix that shows a centering arbor. Ireally think my drums are usable without machining. I always avoidmachining if possible and have re-used worse looking drums. When Iwent to install my drum it would not go over the new lining. I think that if lining was arc'd all would be fine. I called a bunch ofshops to see if anyone can arc the shoes with no luck. Even went tolocal NAPA store and they had no idea what I was talking about andseemed puzzled about me riveting on new shoes.
Guys, than you foryou inputs - Bob
