Hello 320ers,
I had just started a thread in Parts Wanted, but now I think I could use some help to determine which parts I should actually want, so I veered into this specialized area. I have made a good faith effort to search this site before starting this thread, but I did not find the information I am looking for.
I am in need of two rear brake drums for my 1964 L320.
I was under the previous impression that 320 and 520 drums were identical, but now I see that they have different part numbers: 40206-32204 and 40206-14900 respectively. So they are not identical, but I still hold the unattributed presumption that they are interchangeable. As for later year models 521 and 620's drums, I had the impression that they were by dimension incompatible.
I'd like to hear from members who have successfully used later year models' drums on 320s. It seems 520 drums will take much more effort for me to obtain at the moment, so I am especially interested to know if anybody on here has used the 521 drums and can tell me for from experience that they work in this application. And incidentally, I really like the idea of upgrading to disks, but it's really not in the budget for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for reading! Please respond if you can help.
