I need to get a set of brake drums (8" not huge ones)
There is a lip inside each and need to get rid of this before I install
new shoes, and reassemble

Anybody know of anywhere in S.Wales that does this ... I am in Neath.


Have you checked the price of new drums? Might be easier than finding
anyone to skim drums these days.

Yes .... a lot of money .. as its drums & studs & front & rear roller
bearings & seals



OK was lucky .. neighbour was able to turn up a mandrel and has skimmed
the first 2 .... 2 more to go.
