Brake drums 1946 Mercury

[Peder D]

I must replace the right front brake drum. The brakes were repaired with new linings, master cylinder and lines back in 2005. The mechanic could not machine this drum because it was not original and advised me to buy the correct one. Have driven the car about 2000 miles since the total overhaul. Right front now squeaking and pulling when cold. Question: what is the correct drum for this car? Dimensions? Have an offer on a new American made drum, but vendor is asking if I need the studs as well? Should I order these as well? Am grateful for any help!!! Thanks, Peder

Peder;
Without a photo of the drum not much help can be given to know if it's original or ?. You need to ask this question in the V8 forum not here. This section is for questions about the site not car questions.
