Front manual drums

[Joseph James]

I have a lot of feedback from what seem to be out of round drums. I changed the passenger side last week. The adjuster was stuck so I ran out of daylight to do the driver's side.

I bought Raybestos part 1924R and it fit perfectly. I saw one thread where someone said stick with old drums if possible. My old ones have chunks missing where I guess someone got a hammer out.

Pic is unfortunate fender rust that I am not sure what to do about.

Junkyard drums? Fury III in faint yellow marker.

This wheel was very tight. Had a scraping noise when braking or turning by hand.

Brake adjuster took five minutes. Wish the other side had been so easy.

You can buff those marks down using griddle scrubber, nylon screen coated in abrasive grit. Use printers ink or mimeograph fluid if you can get it, cover the spindle in the ink, then buff until no ink is left in any scratch or pit.

You would be smart to put N.O.S. ++ Asbestos++ brake shoes in there for nice smooooooth braking and not ripping up new brake drums.....
I have them for you, if you would like....
