Questions on wheel bearings and brakes.

What size are the bearing retainer nuts that hold the hub to the axle on a ’49 Flat Fender? I think I have the nomenclature right; these are the nuts that are used to adjust the front wheel bearings. I need to go buy a socket to fit and don’t want to make more than one trip.

Also, what is the MAX diameter for the brake drums? The manual states that the drums are 14 1/8” in diameter, but doesn’t give a MAX.

Lastly, I thought that all brake shoes on these trucks were riveted. My shoes are the “bonded” type. Is this correct? Was/is this an option?

Thanks!
