Anyone come across any 9" drums laying around yet.............

[Bas / NZ]

Ok looks like I am going to give my engineer skills  a working going to graft the 10" backing blate on to the 9" housing, after all once this is on, evrything is connected to this right....... Going by all the measurements I have taken, just have to machine up a part plate to weld on to the old housing, as the 4 bolt holes on the 9" line up with the 10" plate.  But ofcourse it can't be that simply can it or am I missing somethig.

Thanks Ben, 4 bolt holes don't line up as I thought, but new ones can be drilled in the backing plate ok..............

 Hey Ben think you saw it on my van.

 Just had a quick look under van , have 10 inch beddy drum brakes bolted to the 4 bolt 9 inch axle.

 Dont have a camera right now on me , will try take some later. But i can just see half of the extra 2 holes that would of bolted to the

 6 bolt 10 inch axle.

Ok guys, just in case you need this for future use, 10" onto 9" is a go, just sloted the holes and welded them back up to leave the new postion of the hole, done 4 bolts but will shoot down and machine up a part plate and weld it in to align the 2 extra holes, don't think you have to but will as I'm fussy. Diff and a new set of feet on its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
