Topic: WTB 68 non finned front brake drums

[dkknab]

Still looking for a pair of front non finned drums for my 68 V8 coupe. I have the hubs that are to be staked on the drums.

Either NOS, used of proper dimensions,  or source for new ones will do.

Still looking.  I see 2 choices for the front drums at salvage yards. 10x2-1/2 inch flared and 10 x 2-1/4 not.  Which do I need?

I don't know about the "flare" part, but assuming your need is for a 289, it is a 10 x 2 1/4 inch. The 10 1/2 inch is for big blocks.
My sources are "unusual". Ford Car Parts, the infamous MPC (75 ed), was not helpful, but my paper copy of the NPD catalog was. NPD lists engines to width.

Here's a half page copy of Ford Car Parts (the infamous MPC) for Mustang front drums. See how the drums that you found match up. The same MPC page is available in this forum's library.
