So having not had my hands on some standard drum brakes for years, i need to know if there is any clearance from behing the hub to any part of the shoe assembly,

in other words can i made some hubs that have more material on the rear without hitting anythnig and if so roughtly how much room do i have,

so who knowswhat?


cheers men

From memory there's not much room, the return springs run very close to the tapered external part of the rear hub and can rub sometimes on the standard dimensions.

The closest things are the springs and handbrake mech, then the bolt heads that hold it to the radius arm

Some pics here... As I'm using an stupid tablet I can't paste them direct.. So a random thread i have found...

I agree with Tom they can be close.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Do you want me to drop a radius arm into you?

I also have the most important piece of equipment you are missing from you workshop - a kettle.

As a last resirt andy, but i needs to be fully dresses in brakes,
but to simplyfy thing all i need to know is if i wddwd 6mm to the rear of the flange where the studs go in from the rear woudl it touch anyhting

The ones I have don't have cylinders or springs. Think I have some shoes throwing round.

My car has s.c. hubs in it, so no guarantee they are factory correct measurements with them.

Austin, ill get some measurements for you when I get in..
