Very interesting way of skimming up a drum. I can fit up to 19" in my Harrison M300 with the gap removed but this would come in very handy for 21" as we're getting a few scramblers in lately. I usually finish up with my Dumore 14 toolpost grinder. My mate Pete has a big Colchester and can fit wheels in with tyres fitted! Lucky bugger lol
Thanks for posting. Very good idea. Some liners are so worn, there is little to recover. Have you ever replaced the brake liner on an old wheel? Regards, Tom Melbourne.
Thanks Tom. No, never had cause to replace a liner, but yes, you have to watch the max diameter. I believe most are cast in place?, so if machining out and fitting a new shrink fit liner would work or not I don't know?
You could contact cylinder bore coaters like Millennium Technologies to see if they can coat a drum back to spec. It won't be cheap so unless the part is exceptionally valuable I'd just find another hub.
I would assume they are cast iron? You can skim them, but it must not be past the maximum wear limit, then fit new thicker linings. If worn beyond the max limit then you need to replace somehow, maybe searching for another truck drum that may fit with modification?
I Alam tanks for responding yes thats the proble my truck is a J2 bedford twin rear whell and I cant finde any new brake drum I probaly ry find some oe with spary metal thank you
Innovative set-up, great job.

Thank you Keith, getting better slowly cheers, Ade
If those wheels are getting new rims shouldn't the skimming be done after the rebuild ?
Thanks for watching Peter. Absolutely right but due to costs these wheels were only being painted.Regards, Ade
Very smart 👍the wheel is off a 2017 Honda Fireblade 😂😂😂😂 hope your feeling better keep em coming.
Thanks Rob, good to be back

Hi Paddy, many thanks for the support, good to hear from you, Ade
one questen I have so very worn brake drums on my truck how can I repair them since I cant get any new ones
I would assume they are cast iron? You can skim them, but it must not be past the maximum wear limit, then fit new thicker linings. If worn beyond the max limit then you need to replace somehow, maybe searching for another truck drum that may fit with modification?
Or look into the possibility of metal spraying? I'm unsure of it's use on a cast iron drum though.
