Hey guys I need some help.....pulled the tires off the cutlass last night...it has one alum. drum on one side & a cast iron smooth one on the other. The brake shoes look OK but not real good so I'm going to replace them....now then how do I get or where can I get a smooth cast iron or an alum drum so I can match things up? I went to Advance tonight & YEP we have them....yea...cast iron finned! NOT going to work WAY to heavy! so any ideas? I had the guy look up some other cars & all had the finned cast iron! OH almost forgot the car is an 88 olds ctulass with an 8.5 10 bolt.....drums are 9.5" inside dia. shoes are 2" thanks guys!
