The manager told me that they make the new one with the old one as sample. Have anybody experience in this matter? I want hear something before to proceed.
Thanks,

The originals had a cast drum and a steel mounting disc. They were pressed together somehow. The new ones were all cast so the disc was thicker. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 112 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2007 Posts: 112 | Thanks Tim, It represent $300 here. I´m still considering the foundry, but they going to ask me the inside diameter like the new one! any idea?
thanks

The reason I mentioned above about the new drums I bought being cast is because the mounting disc is thicker and that sets the whole drum to the outside a bit. In my case they compensated for this. | | |
