RE: Front hubs / studs?

[Nick Tiberio <furyus63@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

These after market steel drums were on my 63' Sport Fury and after 
approximately 1000 miles of driving the front drums were warped so bad 
that the steering wheel would rock back & forth an inch. In stop & go 
traffic they would sing making people on the sidewalk shake their heads. 
Worst of all getting of the exit 55-60 mph, they would fade requiring 
pumping to stop. The heat would transfer to my Crager wheels and be so 
hot I could not touch to clean them at a show. I was told by a brake 
shop that sometimes these off-shore drums could be turned after warping 
and they would not warp further. I don't know how true this is.

I picked up 10 x 2 1/2 cast iron drums from Mobile Parts, Craig Studnick 
on the business card, Craig Stanley is who you most likely talk to on 
the phone. The drums #2915/1926 & Raybestos/Bendix shoes #R333 have 
worked without problems.

When I replaced my studs (all right hand) for 1963 and several years 
before, for rear wheel studs that press into the hub and brake drum I 
found that NAPA Part # 641-1157 will work. Wheel bolt 169 1/2-20 x 1 5/8 
inch.?

I have no information on hubs but I'm sure there are many good used 
units out there. I see Craig several times a year at shows and if he has 
any in stock I'm going to pick them up. I know you're not far from him 
and I think you're right across the pond from me, Port Jeff Ferry 
anyway.
