    Tried selling my spare drums for 2 years for 200 and no interest, So I decided to use them on the back of my roadster, I already have some in the front, now the rear are only for looks. I like the finish look it give to the wheel opening.
    here is pictures of how I did it. I have a ford 8'' rear with small drums that actually fit inside the buick aluminum drums, the centering hole on the buick drums were larger that the ford drum and axle, I machined a centering ring that fit on the axle and the buick drum then opened the center of the ford small drum to fit the centering ring.
    will post pictures of it all together this weekend.

    Looks awesome! After reading about mechanical brakes on my new toy I'm thinking I may need to switch sooner then later...terrified
