Title: Rear Drums Brakes on first \'7
Post by: rei99 on March 04, 2009, 10:43:55 AM
Hi everyone,
here again :D I need to swap the rear drums because are not in good condition... If I see on the net, there are two kind:

USA model:
- 1979/80 model year
- 1981/85 12A with rear drums.

My USA model is the first and it has those:

with air coolant file all around.


The European Black car I need to check, have different drums and them are not like this... I don\'t know if they were aftermarket or original Euro model, someone that have a pre restyling Euro SA22C could help me?

I could buy the USA model or not? And more, the 1981 drums, were the same or are different for 1979/80 m.y.?
Thanks!

79-80 SA are NOT the same part number as the FB 81+ drums. To add to the confusion, there were 2 versions of the USA SA drums too :(
