    I'm in need of at least one, but preferably a pair of turnable, good front brake drums for my '64 Wildcat. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Can you tell us the maximum allowable inner diameter. I have a pair still on a 69 Electra i'm parting. I pulled the one and it looks good, measured 12.0" id.
    I think shipping them to you might be costly. I also have one on a 70 Riv, but haven't pulled it to see how it is. Hopefully someone closer has a pair.
    Thanks Bruce

    According to the chassis manual the max ID should be 12.080". I've read that in 1965 Buick went to 90 fins, from 45.

    According to the Hollander Boook 61 thru 64 large Buicks are interchangeable.Part #133.Then 65-6 and 7 Electra,Wildcat and Riviera will interchange part #1202 and LeSabre is excluded. For 70 it's all except LeSabre and the part #1237 and this will interchange with 68 thru 70.It may be just a 45 vs 90 finn difference or it may be the bearing diameter.I know the early ones have a different diameter than the 65 and up.I'am sure everyone is more confused now than before.

    Saw that Tom.....i hope he's alive and well.

    They usually don't leave a man's voice on the answering machine after he dies....just gave the # a jingle this morning and he's on there......

    Went and bought some drums from Carmen F. after i returned his $$$.

    I could use those simulators you got.....

    Unless he is dead or in a coma.....the is NO reason for not calling or tapping out an e-mail to me.

    I need the drums now and i don't have the money to go buy others....

    He was a real nice guy until he got the money back.......then absolutely nothing........

    As far as a phone #.......White Pages.com ROCKS......i can even start calling his neighbors too.....might try that today.......:Brow:
