Rear Drums ?

[CaptLimey]

Drum size

Hi Thermostat
I'm in the same boat, so to speak, i.e. looking for drums for my '96 T2. When I took mine off there were figures in the inside casting that said 255.5 mm (or something v similar) which I took to be the diameter of the drum. Check that out when you get yours off.
Regards CL

Not sure why I didn't think f this before

Details form Nissan Workshop Manual

DRUM BRAKE
Unit: mm (in)
Lining wear limit Minimum thickness 1.52 (0.06)
Drum repair limit Maximum inner diameter 280.5 (11.04)
Out-of-roundness 0.05 (0.0020) or less

Also they look to be common across all models so not sure what the guy has listed thats smaller. Look HERE

Got up early this morning and i have one off yes 255.5mm max dia. (On the inner wall of the drum)
Mine seem to be damn close to this limit
Plus its not worth getting them machined as its my daily use vehicle.
the depth is 60mm

At least the wheel cyls are not leaking.

Checked one of the links that Zippy sent me and this seems to be the cheapest so i have ordered them
254 x 65 mm

My part no was BDR6657 £38.86 EACH

Carriage was about 6.25

All plus the dreaded Vat

Thanks for finding this for me Zippy

These should be the same for you CL

Glad ya got it sorted :thumbs

Handy thread for future reference :clap

Slightly off topic :doh

Let us know if your hand brake grips & holds better

Mine still holds to pass an mot but when off road or on a steep hill,she rolls back :doh
Its got new shoes,cylinders & pipes on the rear so may be the drums that is the problem

 

[tezzer]

Just ask a silly question

Could you get them lathed/machined or are they past that

Also :augie
Are they my old Ford alloys

yes they are adz, :thumbs

 

[Adz]

Hi Jimmy92

I'm still looking for a pair of drums and brake shoe assemblies for my '96 T2, if the ones you had on offer are still available? I'll need them shipped to WD31NH. If that's a can do, pse let me know and how much? If not - no probs.

Regards CL.

Not in France at the mo then?

Hi Lacroupade

Yeah - still in the land of cheese and wine but darling daughter is coming over (in her X Trail + trailer) with a bunch of stuff soon and I need a few bits from the 'old country'.

Now that the Pound / Euro exchange rate is so poor it's cheaper to buy many things, especially car parts, in the UK and them it shipped! For example cheapest Toyo 4X4 tires in France are at 98 Euros, in UK 56 Pounds!

Strewth!

Whats the price of unleaded doing at the moment? I'm hoping to take a blast down to the house in the Z4 while I still can (south of france in a convertible and all that!) - haven't been there in almost a year so god knows that the place will be like, overgrown and full of bloody wildlife again I suppose! I'd have popped in but going down solo and meeting wifey off the plane at Toulouse on her way back from Jordan.....better hope I don't need tyres!
