Aluminum brake drum help...???

Steve_Hoog · #1 12-26-2003, 11:39 PM

I have two aluminum brake drums, thought they may be a good Ebay item. But I have no clue what they might have gone on, can some one please help? They have GM part number 1255496 cast on the inside.

Some Buick came with these on the back drums. We used a pair on the back of a B/stocker [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

I am thinking that the Yenko Corvair Stingers came with these, either as a GM option or a Yenko option, do not remember which.

Some one else just told me possible Buick over the phone, if they came on a Yenko I would freak. I won't be able to sell them if they did, cause they are the closest thing I will ever have to a Yenko.

Measure the bolt pattern and you will know. buick was a 5" pattern not a 4 3/4" GTO/Chev pattern.

If I measured right, 4 and 3/4.
