So, I'm about to tear into my Gremlin's brakes and I have a question.
Where'n the heck do you guys get front drums?! I am completely unable to find any replacement front 10" drums anywhere. I'm not entirely sure I'll need them yet, but it's likely I will. If anyone could point me to a good source, I would be very thankful. Any thanks, Peter

Should be same as on a V-8 Javelin, and with so many folks who have converted drums to discs, I think you could probably put a Wanted ad in here and find some nice, inexpensive used ones. |

You also might check with Blazer's, web site here : https://www.blaserauto.com/index.htm . They have 4 or 5 storage containers of different brake drums, so they should have new NOS . They want a good price for them, but if nothing else turns up give them a try. But should not really have a problem. LRDaum

There also exist brake specialty shops, I use C H Topping in Long Beach CA. I jsut called to ask about 9 x 2" front drums, which as as scarce as yours. They can get them ($100). That's their business, so it's another path in addition to the AMC suppliers.
