Title: Drum liner cracked help
Post by: Colonial-Clive (yindi) on April 27, 2017, 08:30:45 PM: Hi, does anyone know if the rear brake drum can be relined as mines got a high spot with a crack in it (suspect rust between hub and liner) have been told it's bin fodder!

Thanks Clive

I've done a few for myself but wouldn't even try to compete with Paul Jacksons rate, takes too long with my little lathe. I'm sure it would be fine to post the wheel.
