Re: Wide five drums and adapters
Do a search, but I think Dick Spadaro makes these adapters.
As far as the drums, I have not seen any new ones for sale, I am running wide five drums in my car, they are original drums in good shape, I did see some NOS drums at one time for sale, but that was awhile ago. Let me know if you find some. Ralph |

Re: Wide five drums and adapters
I managed to buy 2 NOS drums on E-bay to fit my 36 for 19.95 each --nobody else bid !
Found another one last year at Hershey that cost more. I have a NOS 37-39 front hub-drum assy that I would trade for a 36 rear in the same condition |

Re: Wide five drums and adapters
The drums malpais has are pretty rusty, and my understanding was most folks here dont like pitted parts. One is usable and one stripped a hub puller so is "unknown".
Neither were from a juice axle, if it matters. Malpais

Re: Wide five drums and adapters
I think the 35-39 wide 5 drums will all work for juice brakes but others better in the know than I will hopefully chime in .....

Will you be joking around Wendover this year?
