Buick Drums, so why not use the hubs?

Most anything can be adapted if you have enough equipment. Those backers are not the ones usually used. They could be. I have thought of making a welding jig to replace the centers so common backers will bolt to the Ford spindles. I really don't think it is a good idea. Wilson backers are the way to go. What you have are designed to have a support in the spindle for the top anchor. You will lose that and the area will have to be reinforced. The center is all wrong and the offset will have to be addressed. The backers could have the centers opened up and new spacer plates machined. It would cost more than just buying from Wilson. The Wilson backers can be easily modified using the common centering rings and the holes egged a little like when using 40 backers.By the way, I machine the Buick drums. See the sevices offered section

 

Wilson makes the plates with either bolt pattern, no need to elongate the holes. I will end up getting some from him. Thanks for the input.

 

I PM'd 29RAT on purchasing a set of these adapters . He is taking names to see if enough interest is there for another run, so if your looking to adapt your Buck Drums, please PM him. (I need a set !)
Tom...

 

I could use a set too. I P.M.ed him but I never heard back?

 

Pricing will be in the next couple of days

 

I sent you a PM to add me to the list for a couple of sets.

 

Any word on when these will be delivered?

 

He was supposed to PM buyers. I haven't received a PM yet??

 

Gents

Give 29Rat a PM. I was contacted 2 days ago and will be picking up mine today.

 

Got mine this week,very nice work.New spindles arrived today and it looks like the outer adapter may cover some of the thread.Should i turn them down a bit?.They are round type from speedway.

 

I got mine a week or two ago.

 

any more available?

 

How can I get a set of adapters??

THanks,
Mike

 

Here I am! Late to the game, as usual.

Any chance that there are any left? Another run?

I'd front for two sets if another fun would be required.

 

I just finished up installing the GREAT adapters that 29RAT supplied...'62 buick drums on my '31 tudor....all I had to do was cut 5/16 out of the back of the drums to clear the backplates...simple job on a brake lathe. This was the easiest upgrade I've done. THANKS to 29RAT

 

i will be posting a pic of my buick drum and backing plate onto a early mopar tube axle spindel using the stock mopar hub..not that hard to do.nice job 29 rat !

 

OK,read all this,getting confused.Got buick drums and 29RAT's adapters coming. So what year spindles and backing plates will work with the least amount of modification ?

 

I'm a newcomer and late to the party....if 29RAT is still out there, is it possible that a set of these Buick to Ford spindle adapters can be had?

 

i would also be interested in a set

 

Have to bring this back up in the hopes that adapters will become available again. I need a set!

 

I have a set of these I purchased and am not going to use. Send me a PM and I'll sell them. Thanks - Tudor

 

Cool pieces,.... Have you thought of marketing a kit for sale ? Bet you'd sell quite a few, judging from the response!!!!!!!!!!!!
