I'm looking for brake drums for a Lada Niva, either new or used ones that still have the aluminum casting intact.  Please message me if you have these! Thanks

OK, I 've watched this for a day or so hoping someone would answer.

I'll say it.  What the hell is a Lada Niva?

(edit) Andrew types faster than I do.:lol:
 
Russian manufactured 4X4 sold in Canada for a while.  Initial Lada models were copies of Fiats.   I had a friend that had one and swore by it, but it seemed to me that he spent an inordinate amount of time working on it.

I don't know if they would ship to wherever you are - or how comfortable you would be ordering from Russia - but http://www.ladaparts.ru/ may have them.

Wow.  The styling on it looks like a VW rabbit mated with an international scout.   :shock:
