Looking up brake drums specifically for my 1962 Catalina Safari results in slim pickings. Either not available, or over $100 per unit plus shipping.
However, when I just went to Summit and looked up a drum with a 5x5 BP for an 11x2" shoe I quickly found these Bendix units for like $50 each.
Is there any reason this wouldn't work just fine? Or am I missing something. I would think bolt pattern and shoe size are the only things I really care about.
