I was cleaning out the shed tonight and come across a couple of spacer brake drums but they look as though they will need machining.
What I would like to know is what the max diameter they can be machined out to?
And can you still buy oversize shoes for a Mini?

Standard size is 7.0 inches.
Oversizes are + 1/32" and + 1/16".
Any brake shop can machine the drums and exchange rebonded shoes with oversize linings, radius ground to suit. :wink:
