I am running finned aluminum Buick drums and Wilson welding hubs. I got the idea from Don Montgomery, the ex-racer and now hot rod historian. He is running the F2 brakes on the front of his '32 3 window with stock drums and hubs ('40-'48). I had 4 Buick drums and a total of $20 invested so decided to go with the Wilson hubs. You can get either 1 3/4 wide or 2" wide shoes from NAPA so it can be matched to you stock drum. By the way, all this talk about F1 or F100 brakes vs F2,Lincoln, or MT brakes must be evaluated on size too. F1 and F100 are both 11" and the others are 12" That is a lot more sweep area for stopping in the 12" and they are both Bendix self energizing type brakes. Sometimes size matters!
