The older beehive style will not - shock mount to brake band conflict unless the mount base is "shimmed" out - can't comment on pancake style as I've not mounted any BUT the rear mount is quite different.

I remember reading that cannot use Hasslers with the RM brakes because of interference.
If the original Hasslers would not fit the large drum rear end, it seems very likely that they would be redesigned for the 26/7 brake drum. Someone must know......

The Pancake style were made especially for the 26-27's.

The fronts will fit all, but the rears only the large drum.

i have pancake Hasslers both front and rear on my 1924 Tudor with a Ruckstell rear axel. Just installed the new AC brakes. All fits and works well.
