Shopped around a couple of years ago when I needed new drums... sadly all the normal suppliers came out at approx the same price.
Bit the bullet and just ordered a pair from Simon in the end (if I'm going to pay a fortune for parts, I'd rather give the cash to a UK supplier who is known for helping people out and providing a damn good service). Came as quite a shock though: last time I changed drums was on a 2.8 Capri 12 odd years ago. Seem to recall the drums were about £30 a pair! Suppose you have to pay quality prices when you have a quality car... |

If they are the same as the rear ones on a PV (could be) then the drums themselves are not too expensive. I've seen them advertised for about 40 euros each. The problem then arises of replacing the wheel studs and the hub. Also not too difficult with a hydraulic press.

KFZteile in Germany had them in stock if I remember correctly (but this was just the bare drum)

I don't know how reliable their online stock counting is but Skandix appear to have them
http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts...-drum/1004583/ They say the complete version is to be in stock soon - might be worth ringing them tomorrow

Army;
"not too difficult with a hydraulic press. " Beware! Replacing a Drum on a Drumhub requires a SERIOUS hydraulic press (100Ton), and associated fixing and methods to assure proper alignment and concentricity of the final assembly, which must be checked for concentricity subsequently. This is NOT a job for a home mechanic! Cheers |

Might've been a guy in France? Vaguely remember it as it put me off the idea of faffing about with drums and I just went ahead and bought some new ones in the end. Not got time to do a forum search as I'm at work. |
