Title: Mercury Finned Brake Drums
Post by: Bubba on 2010-11-16 14:15
Does anyone know if any of the Merc finned brake drums are a bolt on swap for the 57 9 inch small bearing rear? I am told that some years had a 3 inch wide drum available.
Thanks

My 25th edition of Hollanders' (1959) says they will fit.

Thanks Lou!
You Da Man!!!
What year 59 or later? Does Hollander give you the Mercury Part numbers Front and Rear?

Be careful when you're buying. I recall a lot of Mercs were 5X5.

Interchange is for 1957 Mercury to 1957 Ford.
