How does a lug affect the drums sound?
A. It doesn’t. A lug is on the outside of the drum and the sound is on the inside. However, the Ford lug does make tuning easier and much more accurate. Our lug is a genuine Ford part and it’s machined from either solid aircraft aluminum or solid brass. The insert moves front to back and side to side, thus allowing for true axial alignment. The result is smoother tuning. Unlike cast, pot-metal lugs used by nearly all manufacturers, the Ford lug is meticulously crafted, polished and plated. There is a difference. Even our mounting screws provide a benefit: aircraft grade stainless. Only the best components are found on a Ford.
