hmmmm, ok now what do I do ? I did check runout and my drums are ok but
since the car had not run in over 20 years they have mild surface rust that
I removed most of with a wire brush on a electric drill, should they be
turned ?
I had assumed that since the runout was good and I cleaned up the large
majority of the surface rust that the brakes would clean up the rest of the
drums. This is a 30's British car so it needs all the help it can get on
the brakes. I could not get new drums and to removes ALL the rust, they
would no longer be any good.
