[Amc-list] 11" drum brakes...

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Here's a novel idea for big brakes for a vintage Rambler (or other 
car)... 11" Strange drum brake kits. They come in a Ford bolt pattern 
(might be, not sure, 4.5x5). A "kit" is $349 or less. If that's two 
wheels it's a good price for big brakes. Meant for rears, for front just 
drop the parking bits.

Just a perverse idea to make a car different but still brake good. On a 
little American or Gremlin etc they'd outperform AMC factory discs!

PS: Only one day of heavy rain so far, but on that day, the drilled 9" 
front drums seemed to completely solve the wet-drum problem. I'll wait 
for a good soaking drive before I post back.
