TC> Questions, questions.....
 Answers...
TC> Can the drums be 'sleeved'? Have you checked to see if there
TC> is a newer vehicle with the same diameter and width brake
TC> geometry that can have your bolt pattern redrilled (remember
TC> putting Buick drums on other cars in the fifies and sixties
TC> because they had fins on them)? Have you tried Hemmings,
TC> Late Great, etc.?
 I will try all of those as last resort. The drums are different because of 
the small bearing on the axle. Sleeving is out of the question because you 
lose structural integrity and have no way to insure heat disapation or the 
blasted things spinning.
TC> Do you have part numbers? Or describe the year model again,
TC> and I'll check around here (north Texas).
 No part numbers, no books to get them from. 1962 and 1963 Chevy II Nova. 9X2 
inch 4 lug. Only two years and all cars are the same.
 I would appreciate it.
