I own a 1973 with the wide 5 bolt pattern and stock, all drums brakes all the way around.  I would like to find replacement drums drilled to the Porsche 5×130 (I believe that’s it) pattern where I could run Porsche wheels without adapters

Hi Jose,

Thanks for the opportunity to help!

On the rear, this is as simple as removing the Thing, rear drum and installing our AC Industries replacement drum with the 5 x 112mm/5 X 130mm lug patterns.  Below is a link: https://socalautoparts.com/product/brake-drum-rear-5-lug-dual-pattern-porsche-5×130-bus-5×112/

We have never made a drum with anything other than stock patterns. Our AC Industries disc kits are affordable and easy to install!

With quality front brake drums selling for $100.00 each, for only $150.00 more, you can upgrade to disc brakes!!

With our “No Hassel” disc kits, you don’t change the spindles, so you don’t have to redo the front-end alignment.  Our kit is completely bolt-on.  We have sold literally 1000’s of these kits worldwide!

Thanks, Andy
