Brake Drum
« on: May 06, 2008, 04:36:49 PM »

Do you know how hard it was to find a 9" drum for a 1972 Plymouth Duster.  All the books say that  9 " drums came out on 1973 and later. Had too order one 6 to 8 day out.  NAPA is the only place that had a listing to order.

I had my rear drums and axles reworked into the large bolt pattern...to match the 1973 front disc pattern. I got tired of having to have two spare tires hammer hammer
