Re: Parts Store Personal #*#@!

Yup. In the future we may be forced by lack of parts to "upgrade" to some other brake / parts combo.

By the way, the 11 inch brake drum setup stops very well. But these setups are not east to find nowadays.

Also, I've seen a company advertising a new drum system in the Mopar mags in the past year or so but don't recall their name/details. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
