    Does anyone know what these drums are off of? Or seen any like this. They are on a straight axle. 20171020_175447.jpg 20171020_175458.jpg

    Early Ford v8 32-36 I believe. Sometimes referred to as Rocky Mountain drums

    I think they also may have been used late in 31 as well.
     
  4. Yes on the late '31 but they were 11 inch diameter in late '31 (it is hard to tell the diameter from the picture). The '32-'35 were 12 inch in diameter. The '36 was different with a 5 on 10 1/4 bolt pattern (wide five) so they are not '36. If you need the exact year post on fordbarn, there are subtle differences.

    I took a set of those off the front of my original A front end and scrapped them. I doubt they would do you any good on your project car. Now if you happen to trip over any F1 brake setups thats a different story!

    Awesome thanks I'll find someone else that needs them then I couldn't bring myself to scrap them. Worse case I'll hang them on the wall somewhere.
