WANTED Rear Drums for '66 Imp

[Mick]

I actually need a right FRONT drum in good condition, but hard to locate. However, it's my understanding the hub can be pressed out and a rear drum used in its' place.

Better. In this case actually putting what you want is needed would help. i.e. front drums instead of rear drums although I see you think rears will work on the front.

Just a pointer from looking at many posts and making many ads myself

 

[Mick]

I appreciate it. I figured the rears would be easier to locate, but who knows?

Will Newport drums work? Also 66

I doubt it. Unless things changed for '66, Imperials used 5x5 bolt patterns instead of Chryslers 5x4.5.

Mick, I checked with Kanter. While they offer drums for '62 Mopars, that don't for '66. Sorry. Same for Rockauto.

Just thought of Atlas Obsolete. That guy is ungodly expensive, but he is listing two rear drums for '66 Imp.

Thank you for doing that!

Thanks for checking and yes he is. Last resort, but good to know.

Really? I clearly did not know that. What was the '65?

Update: Found a right front hub and drum through Murray B Park. He indicated he had more. FYI and thanks for the comments.

57-66 are 5 x 5.5

How much was Atlas asking for the drums ?

 

[Mick]

For the rear $381.00. Didn't see a front w/hub for a '66, but one for a '62 was like $489.00

Is that price so high for imperial drums only?, or are they (c-body) all that hard to find?

 

[Mick]

Fairly sure it's just the Imps.

Did not know that; thought they were all 5x5. Must make getting any after-market wheels a real pain!

Kanter sells drums for '62 Chryslers, which fit many earlier years, for about 90 bucks each. Started doing so about three months after I bought some NOS drums from Birnbaum for $350 a pair. But, as I said earlier, they don't sell them for later '60s cars.

As for Atlas, the guy has been high for years. I paid $105 for a battery cable over 20 years ago!
