I am almost positive that these are 10 inch drum brakes.

Can someone confirm this for me?

Wouldn't the "MAX DIA" be stamped on the drum?

That too ...

if the car has original front disc brakes then that would be a 10" rear drum setup assuming nothing is changed.

But as said PULL it off and measure it ?? we can't do that from the internet and the 11" drums look similar to the 10" that year .

OK, I figured someone could tell by looking at it.

It is an original disc brake car, completely stock. 1971 BS23 383-4

Do you have a tape measure ? What does it measure across the front ?

Me and the car are not at the same place. I can't measure it.

Dont look like a 11" drum & I was thinking that BBP didn't have a 9 incher but I'm not positive

Assuming thats a 4.5" bolt pattern - it looks just a bit wider than 2x the bolt pattern - so I'd say its 10"

Yeah sure enough. Once I cleaned the rust off, 10 inch was stamped right on them.

Thanks guys.
