Whilst I notice the discussion on brake drums , can I please ask if any of
you have come across the
situation I had when I replaced my brake linings on the rear brakes of my
66 Crown coupe.
Where the linings fixed to the backing plate they had an elongated hole not
the usual round one
that I had come to expect on all my cars English or American . I bought new
linings from Kanter in
New Jersey and they arrived and looked fine, just like my 63 Convertibles
in fact identical .
I thought at first the elongated holes had some how worn that way although
I had never seen it
before so preceeded to fit the new linings after fighting with that little
spring and washer thing that
always flies off into the unknown ! even with the right tool I found that
whatever I did the drum
would not go back on !!!!!!!! The elongated holes where NOT WORN but needed
. I contacted
Kanters and they said yes that they did indeed have those sort of linings
but they had sent the right ones for my car and that it must have had an
axle change ! now my car is a low mileage unrestored vehicle and shows NO
sign of that sort of damage or work . Kanters also could or would not tell
me what the elongated hole linings were actually for !!!!!! very strange
but as I am in England UK sending back stuff is not cost effective at all .
Before and after this Kanters has always been fine for me . Am I alone in
this elongated hole thing ???????????????.

I don't have a '66, but I do have a '65 and many others. None of them have
flared brake drums w/cooling fins on them. I believe that the brakes on
1965 and 1966 are identical. There may be a '66 shop manual on the OIC Web
site.

I may be mistaken about the '66 Crown having flared brake drums. I was
under the impression that they were the style that flared out, overlapping
the backing plate with what looks like cooling fins on the flared portion
like they were on the back of my '67 Dodge Monaco 500. However someone
emailed me saying that the drums on the Crown are not flared but just have
a small ridge around the inside circumference. If that's the case my car
may have the original style drums on it. Can anyone verify this or better
yet have a picture of what the stock drums look like?Â
