    Hi Fellow Hambers,

    can´t find anything on this topic, can anyone tell me what the wear limit of a 1948-52 F1 front brake drum is?
    How do i measure it, just the inner thickness?

    thank you

    you measure the inside diameter from surface to surface across the drum , and the discard measurement is sometimes on stamped on the surface of the drum

    According to the factory Ford manual, the Max Dia Boring Limit is 11.060 inches. New they are 11 inches.
