| It is inside diameter. I believe the actual measerment is 11.06" and I need front but if the price is ok then all four. What is the price and do you ship them to Europa? |

:) Thing is that I am not 100% sure which ones the original drums are. I know that minimum inner diameter is 11.06 and friction surface for I can tell is about 2.83. They are oldschool drums with cooling spring around them. If you can help me to identify which one I have please help. I think they are 11 x 2.5.

Measure the width of your brake shoe linings, it'll tell you the drum surface width.

| Hey,
I know now that I have 11 x 2 1/2 inch drums. You say´d 85 dollars per drum. Correct?
My address is Kase 4-3 Tabasalu Harju county 76901 Estonia. Can you calculate how much would be all 4 of them with shipping.
Thanks,
Heigo |

Location: Williams California | Hi Heigo,
I took a box with one front and one rear drum to the post office, the shipping quote was very high, $311.15. That was for only 2 of the four drums. Not sure why shipping to Estonia is so expensive!!

| That is normal for shipping... Brake Drums are heavy -- and post offices want
To carry little letters -- not heavy packages like brake drums.
I just quoted it two 1966 Plymouth Fury rear 11" x 2" (VERY different
drum)..... Two (2) drums @ 195.00 each = $ 390.00 ---and $ 466.00
Shipping to Australia.... Needless to say, he is in "flux" while he scratches
his noggin'......and there is NO cheaper way...... |

| Estonia, Australia, they are halfway around the world; whether it
is from you or me -- and you and I are 3000 miles apart, both here
In the United States.....
Hey, Big M John -- want to hear a REAL scary # -- ask UPS or FEDEX
What it would be to ship --- it will be OVER $ 1000........ |
