URGENT!!!!!!!!!escort 9" brake drums

g'day guys this is semi urgent,after less than 500ks my new brake shoes have worn down to nothing on the left rear,and few quick checks reveal
the left drum is bent and running out about 5mm[:-(][:-(]

which has been giving me braking dramas for abit thought I should look into it.

so if any one has 1 or a set of stock 9" drums they have spare that would be great,I need them asap,until I can sort out a disk brake rear set up.My car is undrivable now

preferablely Sydney/nsw/southern highlands

cheers

    Check the axel flange for runout.

    This. If you see runout on the wheel + tyre when jacked up and spun, its probably wonky axle flange.

    thanks guys but ,I end up repairing my bent drum,with a soft hammer and a my tusty dial indicator,Its now running with .2mm.
    It will be fine now unitl I sort out a rear disk assembly better than new brakes now
    the axle flange has very little run out as well.

    cheers

    Cortina Mark 3. 4 and 5 have the same 9 inch drums and the wheel cylinder fits its just the backing plates that are hardest to
    get

    and the drums do bend
