Hey no problem Dan. I hope you don't need new drums. For some reason
they are hard to get and very expensive. Since you have a 77 what kind
of disc's do you have in the front? Kelsey Hayes or Bendix? I am not
sure what year they changed from the Kelsey's to the Bendix. I have 79
Bendix off of a Concord on my one 74.

Doc,

Thanks.  I noticed that there is a note on the drum surface that says
9.06" max machined diameter.  So I took a pair of shoes over the the
local parts store and asked for the shoes for a 73 hornet (their
computer indicated that those were 9" shoes).  They matched right up. 
Thanks again for all the help.

Dan
