What is the inside dia of new drums? I know the wear limit is 11.06" as cast on the drums, mine measure 11.03". Is that close to the end of their life or only half way through? Anyone know?

You still have .030'' 0.75mm to go before they are scrap.

They don't wear much when they are almost continuously lubricated by oil or brake fluid from leaky hub seals or wheel cylinders:)
