Re: Brake drums
To add, there are a few rare 35 drums that have "holes" in them and even a wide 5 . some picks...

Re: Brake drums
Opps, wrong pic... I'll look again...
Well, I can't seem to find the pic in my files, but I sold one to Lars, a Swedish member here, perhaps he will have the pic. Its basically a 35 hub with a bolt on drum, very rare, not sure the reason for its manufacture |

This is the drum I bought from you, an early 1936 wide five rear drum. I can't verify it but I believe that the drum to the left on your pic above was a transition design for end use of excess stock of 35 hubs on 1936 cars. |

Re: Brake drums
Well thanks Lars for the correction. Not sure why I was thinking the odd drum was standard 5 on 5.5 pattern. My memory is getting to be like an old ford, low on compression, a bit smokey, and hard to start
