hey i'm hotrod Jen .. i'm 19 live in nj . pinstripe,hotrod artist, etc .. i have a 72 nova 383stroker,4 on the floor , which i got from a friend who got from a a-hole ..
when whoever did the brakes or what not did not put back on the grease cap on the drivers side .. i never took the beauty cap off only had the car since around nov. 2004.

nothing but trouble workin all the bugs out . went driving to work one morning and i knew there was something wrong with my front end .. the Wheel Baring went drivers side. tore it apart was so bad the bearing welded itself onto the spindle broke some ofthe baring to get the hub off. .. had to saw and chisle the rest of the baring off the spindle .. saved the spindle .. got the other barings and races out of the hub and cleaned all the metal shavings and grease out of it ..

turns out the washer/ and whatever else was fouled up cut a nice sized grove into my Hub .. to the Barings wont sit in it right ..
i need a new hub ..
i called allthe junkyards, and my nova connections i have nothing this is my only car for right now i need it . looked onthe nova reasource part pages didnt find anything

does anyone have a 72 nova parts car or a extra Hub for the drivers side.. drum brakes .. thanks - hotrod Jen

I would say look at changing to the disc brakes, I bet there are some drum sets out there. just a courtsy BUMP.

i like my drums lol .. i dont have that much money to do pretty much anything like that right now .. i have a good size dentist bill .. root canal and crown with no dental coverage in nj is a pretty penny . so i'm fixing the car when it breaks down its unfortante i dont have the time nor money to do it all at once .. but atleast i'll do it the right way and not how the kid did ..
one thing after another theres always something lol .
thanks anyways

Jen;
If you have a local Autopart store that would take a few extra minutes and look up the drum in theirs book, You can still buy them from the store new. Napa or Carquest can still get your drums for you.. I called our local Carquest Autopart store and they can still get them... If you are still having troubles, Please let me know and maybe I can get one for you from my local shop and have it shipped to you. Jay
