I need to get new cast front brake drums for my Woody. Instead of sending my drums/hubs to Bratton's or Snyder's for the drums to be removed and new drums installed, I was thinking of ordering NEW hubs and drums together. Even though this is expensive, it is getting ridiculous to send packages out by UPS now. I have not had good luck removing the drum studs with a hollow cutter lately either. The tool steel cutters do not last long.

My question is - has anyone direct experience with the new front hubs? I think that they are manufactured by MT out in California.

I can keep the old hubs/drums for my next project - Speedster.

Thanks,
Vic
