I did a search, but cant seem to come up with the right criteria for my Q...
Were the early swirl type 3 drums only in 62 63? are they the same size as the later ones without the swirl? My 63 has swirls, but my 65 doesnt, im pretty sure 64 doesnt either, or maybe it was a half year thing. Im lost Confused

The backing plates are also different sizes. When I redid mine I found out that some left the wrong guts in the newer drums. I had to fab the new ones to fit. All early brake shit is a pain in the ass.

Jason, I'm sure you noticed the different placement of the bleeder on the rear cylinders. Which one is the earlier version. I want to know which ones came in the Canadian 62. That was the whole problem I was having getting the rear brakes to set up right.

The one on the right Frank is the early one. I never knew they were different till I took out the rear brake stuff on my 62.

Thats what threw me on mine. If you look at the shaft the older one also looks like a smaller body with less piston travel. Thats why when I replaced my rear cylinder with the repop ones and repop shoes I had to trim off some of the piece that goes in to the piton to get more travel.

Of my 64-65 stuff, you got alot of the little goodies, Tram got the big stuff. Most of the 5 lug stuff I have now is early goodies. Mostly nos or realy clean oem Wink

That pic of the 5 drums, 3 are nos and the other 2 I got from Martin awile back. I will probly never use them as I never drive the cars that much. Crying or Very sad

But if I ever run into an incident like Jimmy did, I will be prepaired.

My object now is to collect as many swirls as I can and hang them all over the house. Laughing

I miss those NONA newsletters... That was a cool deal while it lasted.

I still kick myself, I gave away an early Type 3 pan (with all the drums) to a guy who was building a *gulp* sandrail. Stupid things done in youth...

Tell you what put that nona sticker up for auction and see what it gets. I still have a stack of them about 12 in high, all the colors. Wink

Maybe Ill get to Hawaii after all. Now the shirts are hard to come by and tend to be fairly valuable.
