Subject: Re: LG45 brake drum bands
Thanks Julian.
I've got my drums back after a light skim by a small firm who are a sub-contract machine shop for the Rolls Royce aero division tool room. The craftsmen still smoke pipes and debate if a thou and a half is close enough so I'm hoping they will be OK. The linings were the last of the asbestos linings available so shouldn't be too hard on the drums but it will be trial and error. I might have to put new bands on the drums if the combination causes squeal.
Thanks again
Peter
