Drums for FB needed

Post by indiana1968 »

Brake drums needed. Definitely need at least one rear, but if anyone in Sydney can assist with with a pair of front and a pair of rear drums, that would be terrific. I am in the Carlingford/Guildford area and need them for my FB's rego renewal. Many thanks.

Thank you for that. From what I am reading, it appears that the EH drums will fit on an FB, is this correct? If so, it might be an easier/quicker fix.

It may be worth talking to Burt Brothers over in Fairfield if you haven't yet. They have been servicing Holden drums since HRs were new, and routinely machine them. They are also likely to have a source for new, though it feels extreme that both front and rears of yours are gone.

Thanks for that. The mechanic will be going to Burts first, so fingers crossed they can work their magic. Still good to know that we have a plan B.
