89 Marathon brakes

[AKAMick]

I have a early 89 Marathon with the 2pg engine, I need to replace a brake drum, edge cracked and missing a small piece, cannot seem to find a drum that looks like it on any online site, mine has no studs in the drum but the drum mounts to a driven flange with the studs on it like the early Marathon, I have had this unit for about 20 pretty reliable years, so as far as I know this axle came with the machine, all those drums i find listed show a splined casting with studs in the drum, Does this unit use the early style drum?

Stupid question, are you sure of the year of your cart?

Quite sure of the year, from the ID tag to the fact it is in 88 2PG configuration, I always buy 88 year parts but its serial number is a 89 year cart, must be among the last of the 2PG units produced. That Ebay brake drum looks similar to the drums i have, that is what i find most puzzling, as that is a earlier type of axle, the braking system and axle appear to be fitted as factory, very correct with no mash up of incorrect odds and ends rigged together, the cart has full lighting with turn signals, brake lights, and horn, the cart has mud guards with tail lights underneath the rubber body molding that also has tail lights in them, all of which appear to be a factory fitment not some cobbled together rat engineering attachments. This cart came from a commuter airport in Florida and it was street legal, guess i will purchase early model drum and hope it is correct.
