Wow! I always wondered what the bottom of a bus looked like, kind of cozy. I thought about this and have not decided what to do with those parts, because I have the entire drum system, right down to those little E-brake cable retainers and: 1 The entire system could be reinstalled, 2. I haven't decided if I want to sell it and 3. I think that I would not want to break up the complete setup. All that being said If Shorty wants to drop me a PM, I would talk to him about it...Mark

Or you could weld them together and sell them as garden art

So did mine.

The oil gets propelled out the drum face, vs all over your brakes.

I have no idea where this came from, as I was simply suggesting that he could convert to rear discs like you did, and be done with the headaches we all have experienced with rear drums.

Nothing more.

Someone threw him under the bus.

Hitting the brakes 2-3 times at once results in almost no brakes?
