Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Earlier today I discovered that a prior owner of my '55 Patrician had stripped the rear wheels of the wheel cylinders, brake shoes, brake drums and associated hardware for mounting the wheel cylinders and brake shoes. I have all new wheel cylinders, springs and brake shoes, but they don't do me much good without the other hardware and brake drums.

If anyone out there has a spare set of rear brake drums and the associated mounting hardware for the wheel cylinders and brake shoes, including the metal pins that go between the wheel cylinders and brake shoes, I would appreciate you letting me know their availability and price, along with shipping to zip code 19446.

Thank you all!

Note: 55 and 56 brake drums are completely different, wil l not interchange and cannot be made to interchange

Fred, thanks for the info. That is something that I did not realise. I would have hated to have purchased a pair of '56 drums only to find that they would have done me no good.

Part #351423 rear 5580 drum was used on some 48-50 and 53-54 seniors as well so might broaden the search a bit.
