Just putting my 11 x 2.5 inch drums together, thought I had everything I need, but have hit a snag with the auto adjusting set-up. I cant work out how the adjuster "cam" can be made to sit tight on the adjuster star wheel - see pic below in the area where the screwdriver is positioned - I must...

You may also need to look into whether the 11 x 2 brakes you have will suit the modified SBP axles that you currently have. With stock A body SBP axles, the distance bewteen the axle bearing and axle flange is less than large bolt pattern axles - by a total of 3/4 inch overall or 3/8 each side...

I decided to go with 11 inch brakes and have just received my 11 x 2.5 drums from rockauto....they look very tough indeed! Luckily, my existing backing plates (the only brake components that came with the 8 3/4 axle I purchased) were for 2.5 inch drums, so everything fits fine. Now just...

Ah, I see. Well I'm running a master cylinder for front disc/drum rear which has residual valve built in. So any appropriate wheel cylinder for 11 drums will work no problems. He's working the angles very well in the ebay add, making it seem that he has some kind of special fix for an all...

I'm cobbling together the parts I need for drum brakes on my 8 3/4 axle. Already bought a pair of 11 x 2.5 finned drums through rockauto and now looking for wheel cylinders. I see on Rich Ehrenberg's Ebay store that he's selling pairs of 10-11 inch drum brake wheel cylinders for nearly $40...

Ah, I see, that's interesting. So only finned with small lug pattern.

I'll answer my own question for posterity. Probably not, at least until 1975 on the following vehicles: 1975-1982 Chrysler Cordoba 1985-1989 Chrysler Fifth Avenue 1981-1982 Chrysler Imperial 1977-1981 Chrysler LeBaron 1980-1982 Chrysler New Yorker 1980-1981 Chrysler Newport...

Is there such a thing as finned 10 inch drums? I know there are finned 11 inch drums, I'm seeing them everywhere. Before I go ahead and purchase new 11 inch drums (already have 11 inch backing plates) I'd like to know whether new 10 inch finned are available as 11 inch drums are probably...

I have some drum brake backing plates for my 8 3/4, but no brake drums. The backing plates measure 12" in diameter, so they are for 11 inch drums. I've forgotten how to tell whether the backing plates are for 3 inch or smaller drum brakes...can anyone enlighten me?

No, I didnt know that, Fishy - good tip, thanks!

Thanks Pauly! They are very handy pics for me to refer to.

Can anyone fill me in as to whether the above ford big brakes (ie. first pic) could fit an 8 3/4? Only issues would be the bolt pattern for the backing plate mount on the axle flange, and possible the handbrake set up. Though I hate to use non-mopar parts its only drum brakes (besides, many...

Cool, thanks Pauly

Disregard my above query, guys. From my own research I think I've established that in fact they are ford brakes - neither the seller nor his diff shop seem to have a clue...

Currently looking for some drum brakes for my 8 3/4 here in Australia. Found an add on ebay Australia by a guy whose selling these brakes, which he bought for a ford 9 inch but was told by his diff shop that they weren't ford but "Chrysler charger" (sic). Anyone recognise these brakes as...

Now that's some eye candy. Love the look of those finns.

Anyone running 11 inch finned drums on their 8 3/4 rear? I'm hunting around for some drums to put on my newly acquired 8 3/4 which already has backing plates for 11 inch drums, but wonder how they would look, seen through the spokes on my cragars. Maybe 10 inch drums a better option (I know...

Thanks for the advice fellas, confirmed my suspicions. Off they go!

I've just installed a disc brake kit with 12 inch rotors and PBR 2 piston calipers (as an aside, PBR are an Aust. company and OEM suppliers to GM and Ford in US, I believe - Baer brakes also use their calipers). Anyway, as mounted, the rotors are about 1 inch further out from the hub than the...
