Anyone recommend brake drums

[NETTIE]

Hi can't find any descent brake drums front & rear all out off stock can only find pattern type or ebay they may be ok just need a recommendation thank you

I fitted some new front brake shoes, and the adjusters were nearly at maximum when adjusted up.
I assumed that the drums were worn, so I bought some new drums from ESM.
After fitting these drums, the adjusters were the same- almost at maximum.
I measured the old drums and they measured exactly 8", the same as the new drums. (should have done this first!)

My advice would be to measure your existing drums, and if they measure 8", don't bother buying new ones, you won't be improving anything.

Thank you for your advice appreciate it but my drums are really bad have to change them but was hoping to get some better quality than pattern ones

If you cannot find new brake drums here is a solution

The drums look to be very good and an upgrade on the 7" brake assys.
