This brake drum is supplied blank and requires professional machining before wheels can be fitted. The required PCD, wheel fixing size, hole position and mounting arrangement must be determined before drilling.
Machining should be carried out by a suitably experienced machine shop to ensure the wheel mounting pattern is accurately positioned and concentric with the hub. Additional mounting hardware may be required.
