If you are looking for a pair of heavy-duty finned drums to suit your LC/LJ here is an option. 

These were machined by Keith Croft. Many of you, especially those with track cars, would already know Keith. Over the years, Keith has done a lot of fabrication work for Group Nc Toranas and has been involved in motorsport since the 1960's.

If you want to know more, or have some fabrication requirements for your Torana, give Keith a call on 02 4573 6418.

How much are they? I wouldn't mind a pair of those to suit HQ front drum. If you use a 9" with Ford rear brake plates to suit 2.25" shoes (as in XA ute/van) you can run HQ front drums on them if running HQ stud pattern on the axles. If running Holden stud pattern you can use HK-HG front drums.

Keith has been our main man to go to for fabrication work for at least 30 years. He does fantastic work and works first time every time, I actually just borrowed some steering arm jigs off him last week. Quality stuff comes from him.

I have contacted Keith Croft. Below is a list of the more common components he can supply for your Torana.

If you have other requirements or need additional information, give him a call on 02 4573 6418.

Offset Bushes for Lower Front control arms - Do these go in the upper arm or the lower arm?. I assume these are a soild metal 'bush' therefore a race only option?
