Default brake drum thickness.

Hi, after my brake overhaul I found i had to discard the brake drums on the tank hunter as they were worn out, The ones i fitted still had the internal chamfer inside on the outer edge, (I am assuming this is a wear indicator as the ones i discarded did not have any chamfer left).

does anyone know the outer wall thickness on a new drum?.

I found on inspection of the brakes some previous owner had, 'to keep the old girl going', modified the expanders on the brakes. I am now back to original good condition expander mechanisms, but am looking for a set in good condition now for the mortar carrier, if any one has any, I have carrier parts to trade and 'Lynn' a good canadian steering wheel for trade.

I am also looking for a set of brake drums, shame these have had all the machinable material removed as otherwise they are in fine condition, Maybe someone has a set for trade?.

thanks kevin.
