Have you tried our hosts, or any one of the many other vendors, if they don't have one?
Also, 88, or 109? What engine if a 109?

They are available from our hosts and multiple vendors. Not a rare part. From experience buy oem if you can.

My experience tells me to buy two new ones, the front brakes do most of the stopping and it's so important for each side to operate EXACTLY the same or the Landrover will pull to one or the other side. Sure you can machine the used drum/drums assuming there is still enough material there to do this but I'm guessing there won't be that's why they were removed in the first place.

Agree with Busboy...encourage the guy to get a couple new ones. Used series drums usually aren't very good, atleast not for long. New ones aren't really that expensive considering you're putting your life on the line with them.

First sorry my about my first post, didn't realize the caps was on.Probably why I missed that it's an 88.
I suggest new also, if his current ones can't be turned.
