These drums have only one countersunk screw.
Too much trouble to machine up bushes, easier to just undo the big nuts , slip off the hubs and slide the metric hubs on. Probably safer as well as the wheels I am using are made for the big nuts anyway.
As I said its not a resto but a speed machine:o:cool:

What is the problem with using drums that have oversize stud holes? I have been doing just this, SIII drums on SIIa hubs, for the last ten years or so with no problems to date.

The braking force tries to rotate the drums, usually the studs stop the rotation. With oversize stud holes the countersunk screws and the clamping force between drum, hub & wheel are the only things stopping the drum rotating until the edges of the holes contact the studs.Quote:

The drum can't go anywhere. It is still captive on the studs. It may rotate a little bit from where you first installed it, but then it rests on the studs. If you are concerned about the small locating screw not being able to handle the torque of the drum, then leave it out.

Personally I'd rather fit the correct drums.Quote:

The part number listed earlier should be correct but unless someone buys one we won't know.
If I remember I'll drop into 4 Wheel Drives in Melbourne & ask.

Spoke with Murray at 4-Wheel Drives and he hasn't seen the correct drums for some years but he doesn't do the ordering so maybe they are available if you order the correct part number.Quote:
