O.E Brake Drum – Austin Healey Late BN1 to BJ8

Built for Owners Who Keep It Real

When you're restoring a Healey, every detail matters—especially if you're aiming to keep your car as close to original as possible. That’s why we’ve developed a brand-new ribbed rear brake drum for late BN1 to BJ8 models with wire wheels, carefully made using our own in-house tooling and available only from A H Spares.

This isn’t a reworked or generic drum—it’s a faithful recreation of the original factory style, right down to the ribbed outer surface.

Why Original Style Still Matters

If you’re the kind of owner who notices the profile of a casting or the finish on a bracket, you already know—originality is in the details.

Using the correct O.E-style parts:

Preserves the character and balance of the car
Ensures a closer visual and mechanical fit to factory standards
Supports restorations that aim to be as authentic as possible

This ribbed drum echoes the proportions and appearance of the original part, made new with modern materials and machining standards. It fits the role without standing out—and that’s exactly the point.

Made to Our Specification – Only From A H Spares

Most reproduction drums today are smooth-cast or modified from other applications. That might work fine for some, but it wasn’t good enough for us.

We designed and invested in our own tooling to produce a part that looks and fits like the original:

Based on the original factory ribbed design
Cast and machined to our standards of roundness and balance
Supplied only by A H Spares—not available from other parts suppliers
Finished in raw cast iron, just as they were back in the day

A Detail That Deserves Attention
