Posted December 15, 20231 yr comment_660218 I have two used aluminum brake drums from an early 260Z. The drums have some life left. Do they have any value? Thanks Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68721-used-aluminum-brake-drums/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 15, 20231 yr comment_660222 Measurement of the inside diameter and pictures of the surfaces will tell the story. There's a limit, it's marked on the drum itself. Borrowed this from an eBay ad. He wants a lot but didn't provide the critical information. A shop won't turn a drum beyond the limit.

December 16, 20231 yr Author comment_660235 As close as I can measure, the ID of each drum is 9.0625" (9 1/16"). Would anyone be interested in these drums at this dimension?

December 16, 20231 yr comment_660241 I believe he's taking about friction part thickness, how much meat they have left that can be cut smoothe to go next to the drum brake shoes. OE aluminum drums are hard to find that do not have broken fins.

December 16, 20231 yr Author comment_660250 These drums do not have broken fins. The drums are still in spec but not by much. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68721-used-aluminum-brake-drums/#findComment-660250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 18, 20231 yr comment_660296 If you know someone with a vapor blasting cabinet, they will clean up very nice. Check completed items on ebay to see what they sell for. Its getting hard to find decent anything for z cars!
