Stud differences
Having decided to do the right thing and replace the left rear brake drum on the C60S which was worn to the point that the adjusting cam turned past it's high point I made some discoveries.
I had a right rear Ford drum in good nick but with stuffed bearings so I needed to swap the hubs. Knocked out all the studs on both, cleaned and painted all the bits, then came to reassemble and found the drums and studs are slightly different. Ford studs have a flat on the bottom edge which aligns to a lip on the drum to locate them. They are smooth along the shank. Chev studs are milled on the shank to locate them and don't have a flat to fit the drum. The solution I think will be to grind a flat on the studs or find another Chev hub/drum.
