Strange brake drum, possibly 550

#1 Post by Adam Wright »

Hey everyone-
I recently got these drums in with a bunch of 550 sheet metal. The guy said they were on the car, but I'm not sure. They look more like ACE drums. A Rudge hub sort of fit.

Any idea's?

Adam:

These are typical "Alfin" British brake drums. Could possibly be MGTC too. What is the ID? Width? I see the six bolt pattern, that looks like MG but could be used on others too.
