[Amc-list] 64 Rambler Brake Drums

["Mike Kindle" <mike90066@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This might be related.  On the 65 I just gave away the FRONT 9-inch brakes 
had 9"x2" shoes and backing plates specific for the 9"x2" shoes.  The FRONT 
drums were still 9"x2-1/2", but the shoes just didn't use the whole drum.  
At first I thought someone had just cheaped out and put the wrong shoes in 
but then I noticed the backing plates were different too.  I wound up 
upgrading with a good 9"x2-1/2" set with backing plates I had lying around.  
So somewhere it is possible to get 9x2" backing plates and shoes on the 
front but the drum is still 9x2-1/2" to fit the spindle and hub.  In my 
experience the rear drums have always been 9x2" and the FRONT drums have 
always been 9"x2-1/2".

Are the 9-in brake drums from a 64 Rambler American
the same on front and rear?  Only one spec is given in
the 64 American TSM and it is difficult to determine
from the pictures in the manual whether the drums are
different, front and rear.

I have a set of 9-inch drums needed by a guy in
Illinois but I cannot remember whether I pulled them
from the front or rear of an American.
