250 Testa Rossa Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Is there anyone out there who makes 11" drum brakes for a 1965/66 Shelby GT350? Tried using the Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Maryland '40 Ford brakes, and they are much too large. Any other suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440 Dakota Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Maybe something here would work but I have no idea what Mustang drums should look like Edited February 19, 2019 by 440 Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottH454 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I make ones modeled after GM drums. Don't know what these scale up to but you can see there 9/16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250 Testa Rossa Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 This is what I'm going for, and the drums are smaller than the wheel itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250 Testa Rossa Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 This is how big the drum is compared to the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The brake drums in the '53 Studebaker kit might fill the bill, except they don't have the fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jas1957 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Maybe this is being picky but the drums you have pictured are 10” drums. You can clearly see where it is stamped “ MAX DIA 10.060, brake drum sizes are measured by the inside diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
