used 9 inch drums are as common as clover. If yours are bad, simply get some from a scrap jeep.

But a used set of brake drums that have been turned on a lathe are as good as a new set.

The only trick you need to know is that many shops do not have the tooling to machine a 9 inch jeep brake drum..

good luck
It's just my luck that something good is going to happen to me today.

They sure are common all right.
I have a dozen setting under my work bench.
Ten of those drums are turned .030 under, nearly good as new.

Most of the Willys Jeep Part houses have them new also.

The most serious problem about a "jeep parts seller" is that there is no quality assurance.

Any aftermarket part, not just jeep has the same problem.

I bought a chrome mirror bracket for a 1984 Ford pickup. for the left side in 2002.

Two years later, when I sold the truck (2004) the "quality aftermarket mirror bracket" was rusty and hardly recognizable. The original equipment on the right side looked good as new, although a little dull.

Most aftermarket parts suffer from the same disease.

So, as far as brake drums go, I'd always opt for a machined old one rather than new.

It's just my luck that something good is going to happen to me today.
