Default Aluminum brake drums

Aluminum brake drums for the A,F, and G body are now available. If your favorite Pontiac vendor does not have them youcan contact kirbanperformance.com

This was a very difficult project to do. If that was not so trust me larger companies than my company would have pulled it off years ago. They are made by A1 Cardone...I supplied the idea and sample set they of course spent the $$$$ and had the contacts. Quality is excellent. Everyone fully understands the advantages of aluminum brake drums. Less weight, never rust disburses
heat better.

We go them in stock. Used ones is liking playing the lottery once you blast them you usually discover heat cracks in them or their is not enough surface on them to pass oyur state inspections.

We have offered them to all the various GM suppliers. National Parts does stock them. They even made them with the larger center hole so it fits the
12 bolt Chevy rear axles. in other words we have two different part numbers for these drums.

Dang, now I can replace the crappy corroded ones I put on my Judge, and I won't have to enlarge the center hole for my 12-bolt.

I suppose this is the rear drums, not the front drums of 65-6 vintage.

Yes rear drums we did the project with Cardone because aluminum drums came on many of the 1984-1987 turbo regals....and were on every GNX....

they don't rust and look great behind the wheels.

A1 Cardone gave me a six month exclusive since it was my project their money......so yes they are available but doubtful in stock I stock them.

I buy direct from Cardone one of just a few car mail order companies for the older cars that does.

My mistake I meant to say these drums will fit the A and F body cars besides the G body cars....very popular with the Turbo Regals less weight no rust issues....looks good behind alloy wheels.

They will fit my 64 GTO rear, right? Since I run open wheels they should look good. So how much for a pair from you?

$234 too steep for me. Weight is of no concern on a street car. Cardone has them on Rockauto for $97.00 each

That's a great part, Dennis!
These also came factory installed on 3rd gen F-bodies-- some, not all. I'm thinking mainly T/A's, Formies, and Iroc's.
