Typically, brake drums allow for at least one round of machining.
On a 10" drum for example, usually they cap ot at 10.060", sometimes
10.090". On a larger drum like a carrier has, I assume there would be at least
.090" to .125" allowable. Considering that these are neither high speed nor streetable, I think you could be flexible as to what is useable. If they were really bad, I would consider oversized linings as suggested.

Hi, I think i will keep the drums and look into getting oversize shoes made up in the future, I have three sets of NOS brake shoes to use up so am looking to put decent drums back on near original speck, like the idea of putting a ring in but this is not common practice. Shaun, if you have good drums on offer I will take them. I have a 75% complete set of rear springs for you, removed and free.
