Brake drum help....
« on: October 21, 2015 - 08:57:53 PM »
OK I sold my brake set up to a friend so I can buy Wilwoods...I have his drum brake set up to put on my car so I can put my wheels around so I can move it around…… Is there a left or a right? I can't find any markings on them any help would be great!

Lower ball joint will determine which side, either or is okay.

the brake hose would point towards the rear but you are not hooking them up anyway

The brake adjuster ports would be on the bottom as well.

I can't be sure in the pics but those almost look like pre 72 A-Body 10 in pieces and if they are right and left are different

If the bolt pattern is the same on both sides of the spindles(knuckles) they are E or B and will be the same for either side
