Rear Drums-Porsche pattern?
Hi All, anyone know what drums to use on a short axle swing box, for me to get drilled to porsche 130x5 pattern? Will 68 4 lug drums fit? Or are they
too big? Can they me modded to fit?
Thanks Nectar.

I ask, caus I have my ones from the IRS rear, that I already have, but want to use them again. They are in very good condition, so dont really want

just need to machine the land for the axle nut down!take some measurements of the two drums and lop off the excess. if your keen, change the backing
plates, if not the early shoes still work till you get time to go to the larger shoes that the later backing plates offer. good luck.
sorry was thinking they were already porsche pattern. they can be re-drilled, as the four stud vw pattern is same diameter, so you end up using one
hole and drilling another four. theres been some discussion before as to the legality of this, some say inserting studs make em legal others that any
redrilling is not for street rego. theres would be plenty of people selling them i think, i'm happy with mine for the mo, they still go round and the
wheels never fallen off. CYA
