1932 Ford rear brake drum questions
Is anyone reproducing the stock 32 Ford rear brake drums? I believe 32-34 are all the same. Can any other later years be used? If not, is there a source for a good used one?

'32-34 brake drums have not been reproduced to the best of my knowledge and they are becoming a challenge to find still within usable inside diameter.

Ok gotcha. For what it is worth I searched the Fordbarn classifieds first, before posting, and I did not see any for sale. Perhaps I didn't search correctly. Anyway, I had a local gentleman reach out to me and I will see what he has this weekend. |

Re: 1932 Ford rear brake drum questions
Being that .060 is generally the max oversize when turning drums and .090 is usually the max wear throw away number; what would be considered a limit for purchase of a worn drum that didn't need turning and would be used on limited use car.
Seems most all '32-'34 & '35 drums I come across are pretty well used and I just hate to just scrap them. Makes you wonder what spec's they used in the old days since it is not uncommon to find shims behind brake linings. |

I believe someone mentioned about a service that will reline brake drums back to spec. I'd assume this is not a cheap endeavor. |

Re: 1932 Ford rear brake drum questions
How about sayings regarding the Ford juice brake drums with the bevel on the edge; if there was a flat edge left, they were good and if knife edged, they were all used up.
