I am sure [MENTION=31879]CarPlayLB[/MENTION] can help you with any problems in fitment, but he will need to know which wheels and brake drum you have now.

Bendix are typically 5" drums and Azusa is typically 4 1/2" OldMiniBikes has em.

No the correct ones are like a Azusa 4 1/2" brake but it has a mounting tab welded onto it.

Hey RideSF, He's using a 3 Bolt wheel TRI Star. Not a Taco wheel. What Azuza part number are you referring to?

Hey Joe,
This one is identical to the taco drum it just doesn't have the mounting tab welded on. The brake pads can be replaced on the taco brake using these pads.

Both will work but if he wants originality gotta pull out the welder and grinder and make the mounting tab.

going with stock rims so old sprocket and the brakes will all fit just like they should thanks for all the idea though
