250 Testa Rossa Posted February 18, 2019 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

ScottH454 Posted February 19, 2019 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.
250 Testa Rossa Posted February 19, 2019 Author Posted February 19, 2019 This is what I'm going for, and the drums are smaller than the wheel itself.
250 Testa Rossa Posted February 19, 2019 Author Posted February 19, 2019 This is how big the drum is compared to the wheel.
ChrisBcritter Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 The brake drums in the '53 Studebaker kit might fill the bill, except they don't have the fins.

jas1957 Posted February 26, 2019 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.
