Buick Drum Wheel Bearing kits??

Have some 45 fin drums here minus bearings.Just had a nosy at the Kanter site and i have no idea which kit i need.Is there any numbers floating about that i could use.Are the Kanter parts any good? Cheers

 

not sure which kit you need,,,but, i have used parts from Kanter before and have had good luck with them.

 

What are they going on? The guys who put them on Ford axles use the Ford hub or one of the guys did a tech on a conversion using GM disk brake hubs that had had the rotors cut off the hubs. As far as I know you don't bolt the Buick hub directly on the Ford spindle.

I'm using the adapters that use the original Buick bearings on Ford Spindles.

 

there was a guy on here making them, 29rat heres the link, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=239540&highlight=buick+drum+bearings

 

Hit up 29rat here on the HAMB. He will know what you need.

 

Yep,that's what i have.

 

What year buick hubs are they? I too bought the same adapters for my spindles to use my '63 hubs and didn't really need new bearings and seals, but I plan to get them. O reilly auto parts carries new bearings and seals and it ends up only being about $65 total for all of it.

 

I'm not sure what year they are.Hard to tell over here.How can i id the year?

 

good question, I'm not positive how to tell the year, I knew the year of the car I pulled mine off of. Hopefully someone will chime in on IDing them

 

Lay a micrometer to it. Go to a bearing supply and see if they have what fits, if they don't have, ask them to order them.

 

I think it will be dependent on the spindle.29 Rat gives good service.

 

The early ones had ball bearings and most had tapered bearings. I might have some I took out. I will post if I find them.

 

I know they had tapered bearings.I might go snap a pic.My 9" bearings ran to over $300 here so i'm hoping to find some fronts online in the U.S
