Tech Talk ~ Buick-Style Finned Aluminum Brake Drums

Buick Brake Drum
Finned Aluminum Buick Brake Drums

Finned Aluminum Buick brake drums have been found on some of the coolest hot rods for over half a century, but getting that look has always required extensive machine work to the drum and hub to get them to fit.

Now, Speedway Motors has made it easy with their all-new 45-fin Buick Brake Drums. Forget about scouring the swap meet looking for crusty old drums, then machining them and re-drilling the bolt-pattern.

These are brand new castings that are a direct fit to Speedway’s Early Ford hubs and our 12 x 2-inch Bendix Brakes. Unlike others on the market, these are the real deal, not covers that are just there for looks.

No machining. No re-drilling. Not a cover. Just classic hotrod style…
