Well, second set of brake drums came in yesterday and again the wrong ones. On a better note, Lynn Perry called me and he had the axles drilled and new bearings installed. Very nice job. He suggested that if I was going to sandblast the housing that the new seals should be put in after that. I picked all the stuff up from him and came home and blasted the housing. Then I washed it good with my power washer and blew it dry with compressed air. I let it set in the sun for a while to make sure it was dry and then shot it with some Eastwood chassis black primer. The housing is a bit pitted so will ask the experts if I could or should use some Evercoat filler to smooth out the surface before I finish painting it. I may have to remove the primer I just put on to do that but I need it now to finish mocking up the rear suspension.
Think I will work on the drums with a different parts dealer. We both have spent a lot of time trying to get the right ones. Maybe NAPA will become my new best friend.
