1939 Rear Brake Drums
The rear wide 5 brake drums on my 39 Sedan are not usable. Is there a good quality aftermarket source for these drums?
thank you Patrick |

Re: 1939 Rear Brake Drums
I think your best bet would to find some good used ones that haven’t been turned too much. Shipping may cost as much as the drums.

Re: 1939 Rear Brake Drums
Do some research, I think you'll find '36 "rear" drums are not wrong and will work fine. You may be thinking about '36 "front" drums being one year only, and will not work on '37 thru '39.

I've got 36 drums on my 36 with a 40 rear end in it. I have some 36-39 drums that have a different seal OD. Bill
