BaileyMex Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Hi all, just popped home to get something and gotta rush back to work, If anyone can help me i'd appreciate it. Does anyone know the diameter of the face of the rear brake drum from a MK1 Mexico, 8"'s rings a bell, but cant remember. If anyone knows could they drop me a text or buzz me on 07925 811 436 Cheers all

BaileyMex Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 Cheers Vista the face of the drum was 8", thought I'd check tonight when I got home to be on the safe side
BaileyMex Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 The overall diameter is 9" I only wanted to know the diameter of the flat face surface not including the sloped edge bit thing

Admin Vista Posted July 31, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 31, 2007 Do you need some drums? I have a pair of 9" drums, they came from a mk1 3 litre capri so I'm not sure if they're the same.

BaileyMex Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 No mate, there fine, I'm getting the rear minilites skimmed by 5mm and the chap wanted some dimensions to be 100% sure, So i whipped the drum off and the good wife dropped it off for me today she's a star

Only the ones I have here are definitely capri ones and are about 62mm deep, whereas the Mex manual I have quotes Mex ones as 44.5mm you must have mk 1 facelift ones which had a slightly different set up and the drums are deffo different , i,ve got both types, i have fitted capri 3 litre drums on a rs1600 axle which should be same as mex

Admin Vista Posted July 31, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 31, 2007 that,s why they different then scott m8 lovely car as well m8 It was my first project, started it in 94 and it took me about 4 years. I ended up with a serious hole in my wallet and a near mint 3.1 litre GXL that had all the right subtle tweaks and mods. Sold it in early 2003 for £3k having spent around £8 to £10k building it Wish I'd hung onto it now.
