    sorry for the quick hyjack but still sort of on topic...can anyone tell me what machining tolerances are on the drums? we are not sure whether to get ours machined or just buy new.....the fronts don't seem to bad one of the backs looks stuffed and I don't think that can be done anyway
    These days I wouldn't be bothered machining 11" brakes because you then also have to acquire oversized shoes as well.

    Only last week I replaced all 4 front cylinders, 4 new shoes and 2 new 3" X 11" drums for just $220 from CLR in Winmalee.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Just spoke to Ian and said what you said Diana, and his words were well if Diana thinks its not worth doing then it probably isn't so we will look at getting new parts

    you have a fan club

    anyway thanks for the advice and sorry for the hijack
