is it possible to fit std 4 stud drums to stock 61 yr brakes ? i know the drum has to be machined for the nut to fit on the rear but just what needs to change internally.. i want to fit 4 stud 2lt porsche wheels (4x130) to a 61 without a heap of drama, are the bearing sizes the same for l/p and bj front ends:beer:beer:beer

Hi

The back brakes will work OK if you swap backing plates, shoes etc as well, the front is a lot harder, it might be a good time to fit a disc brake conversion.
