Brake Drums

We offer these new iron 12" x 2" brake drums with a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt circle, which are impossible to find elsewhere. Use this brake drum with our Bendix Style self-energizing 12" x 1-3/4" or 12" x 2" backing plate assemblies for 1937-1948 Ford.

The caliper piston pin needs to be aligned with the notch in the pad to avoid fitment issues.
