what are these drums worth?
the 356 forum is pretty slow, so i'll post this here, because lots of you guys have them. i inherited these drums, backing plates and brake hardware. early carrera fronts. what is the value of these things? there can't be too many around.

At yesterdays Round-up in New Mexico I overheard some
356 owners talking about this very subject. $600 per drum was the figure I heard being tossed around. I dont know squat about these parts, just repeating what was discussed. HTH Your results may vary.

I've seen 356 guys drooling over a rusted out shell, tripping over each other to offer big $$$ for it. Based on that observation I'd say your drums would be worth a whole lot more if you dunked em in salt water for a year or so and left em in a field. Better yet, stash em in a barn and cover them with bird droppings, then they'd be worth millions
 Sorry I'm no help but I'm in one of those moods. No offense to the 356 guys out there

John,
Don’t commit to sell them until you find exactly what they are and what car they came from. They are at least 356A/B GT brakes that came on late GTs and most Carreras. The fronts are 60 mm wide and the rear 40 mm. Both F & R are nominal 280 mm ID. They may be from a RS 550A or RSK. They are era ’58-’61, no later. Post some images of the shoes, wheel cylinders and backing plates. Are the wheel cylinders aluminum? You might find you have $5-10K there with ALL the parts. I see you make your money the old fashioned way – you inherit it. Hehe Good find! Best, Grady

John,
You can probably get a very accurate answer by calling one of your East Coast counterparts...... John or Ray Paterek. They are very highly regarded in 356 restoration circles. If not comfortable with a call I'll stop by their shop with a pic of your parts. Paterek Brothers Inc 13 Commerce Street, Chatham, NJ 07928 Tel: (973) 635-5924
