brake drums

[BSAA10Richard]

I have an issue with my front brake drums on my 1953 series 11 they are the brake drum with the bearings, they do not seem to be available, is there a conversion dor them, the studs are the 4,5" if there is ca someone list the ESM part numbers if they do them

I think the Series II brake drum is part AAA1075 and I cannot find any of those from a quick look online. Have you tried Club Spares and specifically, Bryan Gostling? If you exhaust all possibilities then I suppose the way forward might be update to Minor 1000 front 8" brakes which would mean changing backplates and hubs etc.

Thanks I think I have sorted the problem so I should be ok with new bearings, conflicting opinion as to the correct type as most are telling me they are angular contact, the ones fitted are ordinary deep race ball bearings, today the bearings fitted were confirmed as correct by the ever helpful ESM chaps, so new bearings on the way and I will see if that sorts the problem
