The Ford Barn

Does anyone have any info on replacement brake drums for 37 to 39. My 37 has 2 piece drums so hubs can be re-used. I have extra rears but fronts are at max and haven,t been able to find good ones. I know no new ones aren't available but hope something might be in the works.
Thanks, Don

I have been wondering if the new 40-48 drums for two piece rims could have the center milled out, new lug holes drilled, and fit

Sure would be worth trying that with an old drum. What great minds we have on the barn!

Sure would be a lot of work, even if your shop was equiped... For the expence, there got to be some old take offs around... My spare set is near standard, cost me $ cheap... Swap meet... Karl

I talked to MT Products today and they are looking for a vendor to make them. Nothing solid but they are looking into it.
