The drum inside diameter is 14 inches. (taken from Canadian manual). Cannot recollect what was removed to clear the wear on the Scout, but no doubt got it here on my notes somewhere. The machining of drums was done by a local machine shop and shoes were relined by a brake specialist, I informed them of the diameter difference and they finished the shoes accordingly. A bit of hand fettling of linings to ensure shoes fitted the drum snuggly, as I know that modern linings will not bed in quickly and this proved worthwhile on the first test run of the Carrier as I understand.
regards, Richard
