Re: [AMC-list] brakes

The service manual lists rear drums for the 77 Hornet (both six cylinder and 
eight cylinder) as 10 inch diameter and 1.75 inch wide.  I don't think any AMC 
ever came from the factory with 3 inch deep brake drums.  I have parted out a 
couple of hornets and I'm pretty sure I have used drums that would fit your 
car.  If you need shoes, they should be easy to find.  Heavier AMCs in 1977 
(basically the Matadors) are listed with 10 inch by 2.5 inch drums.
