Default Sleeving a possiblity

Hi All

I vaguely remember hearing that brake drums were at one time were sleeved as an alternative to new ones.

Temperature differential need not be that great. Putting new starter rings on flywheels only requires heating the ring to 350F with the flywheel at room temperature. The trick is to put the ring gear on in one smooth movement as once contact is made the ring cools and shrinks.

Cheers Phil
