Took some digging to find, but max drum diameter for turning appears to be 8.050".

We have rear brakes!
Well, almost.
Still have to install the Bundy pipe and a couple of clevis pins.

Yes, but now for the next adventure.
The "Bundy pipes" were not very good and appear to have had at least one end remade, poorly.
OK, I have the tools to make new ones.
Cut the old lines to salvage the threaded ends, found that the ends going into the wheel cylinders do not match.  :o
This car had been leaking at the wheel cylinders, the cylinders or the flares is uncertain. 
REALLY hoping the MC is good as it seems they are no longer available and conversions are inconvenient to difficult.
