Non-standard??? It's the rear brake adjusters, horizontal, not vertical
For some reason a lathe is not ideal for machining a brake drum, not sure why.
There is an excellent machinist in Leicester called Bob Coley who has a brake drum skimming machine, and the facility to re-line brake shoes to fit the drum.
I can recommend his service to members in this area.
Whats the form giving out phone numbers on the forum?
Thanks.

Best way to stop personal contact information being broadcast to the world is to ask to be contacted by private message/conversation via the forum and then you can send the information back to interested parties by private message/conversation.
Thanks Eddy. I have Bobs contact details if anyone wants a drum/shoe job.

Now that I'm in the midst of sorting and checking brake bits, I can understand why it would be desirable to turn the drums while mounted on the wheel. Just out of curiosity... do you recall what sort of runout there was before you cut them?
