if it's Kevlar then no,, if it's standard material then yes.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Use a rigid band, red lined, no grooves on an aluminum drum.

A&A trans or Cope has them.

if your on a budget and you have yes. solid bands have better holding power. kevlar bands are gray, do not use on a alum/drum


all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns
paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred
site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response

That band will wear the drum uneven where the groves are

If its in a transbrake equipped application,no. The higher pressures in those apps can straighten out the formed anchor points.
