Long shot - 2nd/3rd gen brake drums?

[Jamieg285]

Any owners, past or present, got any spare rear drums.

One of mine has gone egg shaped and I could do without having to buy new ones right now.

sorry m8

Nope - It's on the list - just not right now.

they are a lot cheaper than you'd think new, about £40 IIRC

My first port of call was RockAuto, can get a pair for $20 - but shipping is $164

UK wise, Ultimate Spares of America (on ebay) is £49 each + £12 postage.  Can't see the Bedford boys being much cheaper.

If it was just one it wouldn't be so bad, but these need to be done in pairs, and I don' have £100 to spare.


On the positive front, swapping then left to right (to confirm it was drum and nothing else) has found that the symptoms are lessened and give a bit more confidence when on the brakes, but there's still a terrible brake squeek whenever I'm moving.
