The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Cast-iron brake drum fit

Charlie Stephens ... in So Cal ... or anyone else in the area ... ? It's sunny but chilly day at the top of the Cajon Pass.

Just got a set of front hub/drum assemblies and they measure out to the aforementioned 10.97ish diameter. Close ... but no cigar!

Same 'won't fit' over new shoes issues even though the supplier advertises they are turned after assembly. In my mind that should have meant that they are turned out to minimum 11.00" ... perhaps 11.002".

Anyone have a lead on a place within 30 - 40 miles that have the proper setup to turn Model A hub/drum assemblies?
