The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun 3800 Rear Brake Drum Source

Bigtonka,

I beleive the diameter & the width of the shoe contact area is the same, but the rear drums have more of an offset because of the hub on the rear axel. In other words, if you laid one of each on the floor, the drum for the rear would be taller than the front drum.
