I was directed to drums from Kanter but was wondering if anyone had any turnable originals or disc brake conversions for my delta before I spent $250 on a pair from Kanter

That and a hub assembly since my dust cap (New and old ones) do not fit well. It looks like the dust cap hole is out of round

Here is my drums for refence

Can come from any 59-70 full-size Olds. The left front hub/drum from a 59-63 car will have LH thread lug nut studs. Have the machine shop change them out for 1/2-20 RH thread studs while they're turning the drum.

1959 - 1964 Oldsmobile Front Brake Drums are 11" x 2 1/2".......

1965 - 1970 Oldsmobile Front Brake Drums are 11" x 2 3/4".......

Clearly, they A R E. N O T the same....

Your information, rocket raider, is erroneous....

Came out of Nov 73 factory parts book, Craig. Who knows what p/n's they'd consolidated by then?

Visble, go with Craig's info and if he has drums, I'd get them from him.

Craig's info is correct: 2.5" front lining width is what is shown in the 1964 Chassis Service Manual, 2 3/4" in the 1965-69 CSMs (FYI, disc brakes were standard equipment on all 1970 Olds full size cars).

That's interesting, because the Jan 1972 parts book doesn't list sizes, only P/Ns. It also only lists hub and drum assembly, not the drum separately.

Here you go, pulled from a 68 Delta Custom 15 years ago been in my shed , plenty of meat there, no ridges and a light sanding and they should clean right up.
$50 for the pair you cover the shipping from zip 47025 Southeastern, Indiana...
