Hot Rods 45 fin buick drums

does anybody reline them?

i seem to remember a year or two ago, i saw a pair at the machine shop getting turned. i asked the guy operating the brake lathe if they were new, he said as good as new, the customer had them relined

what do you guys know?

 

J&G Brake Relining : https://www.google.com/search?q=jg+...CDU4MjRqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

 

thanks and that isn't too far away

any others

 

Good to know. I have a pair of nice ones, but they're over spec.

 

Let us know what that relining costs when you get the bid. Then we can know how to price our original drums.

 

Without knowing anything, I'll guess $200-$300 per drum.

 

I think j&g are the guys that do the Pontiac six lug drums from the early 1960's also.

Some pricing info here from 2016?

Speedway sells new ones. They have an ad with them being used with 40 hubs and Lincoln plates. That leaves 1/2 " of the shoe not covered. If they are stock dimensions the lip can be machined and the center hole opens up. They are I think $300 plus ride and tax ea.

 

I believe boling brothers sell them also.

I have four that I've already removed the buick hubs from in anticipation of using Ford hubs up front and adapting the other two to a nine inch in the rear.

I have a friend who needs a pair for his Invicta so they need to be stock with hubs

 

actually, Don from J&G is a member here but he hasn't been on since 2016

and they do do those Pontiac drums too
