Location: Muskego, WI | I've separated my rear drums from the hub for my 1960 Plymouth wagon. I'm looking for the part number for a drum that will slip over and "float" on the hub with new studs pressed into the axle flange. I'm doing exactly what article linked below demonstrates, but the part number in the article is described as a 10" diameter drum on Napa's website. My brakes are definitely 11" diameter with 2" wide shoes. Anyone have a part number for a drum they know will fit and work?

Location: Muskego, WI | I appreciate the answer, but I'm looking for a later drum that was intended to float on an axle flange (not the original drum that gets swaged to the hub by the wheel studs). Anyone have a part number? |

Location: Muskego, WI | Now we're getting somewhere. If I can find an aftermarket part number that cross-references, I will post it. |

Location: So. Cal | What would be the difference if you just used a new original drum and let it float? It would at least be centered on the hub well, that's the most important part. |

I would at least guess that the later drums that were intended to float would be more available and more affordable. |

Location: Muskego, WI | So I found some part numbers for 11x2 brake drums for a 1965 to 1968 Plymouth, but they are all no longer available. Here are the part numbers if anyone knows where to get these.
