Maximum drum dimensions for 37 Dodge D5

No, don't have a shop manual.  Didn't search the forum either.

 

Faster and easier to ask and some nice member with a manual can answer.

 

Please, this ain't a for sale ad.  Don't treat it as one and get it locked/deleted.  Just lookin for a quick accurate response.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

What is the maximum serviceable diameter for the front/rear drums on the 1937 Dodge D5 sedans?

 

  Need to vet out whether the drums are worth the effort to salvage or not.

This what I would do. Take a fron drum to any good brake repair center and have them mic the drum.  So if your drum for an example should be a 10 inch drum then have them measure with a  brake drum micrometer the exact inside diameter of the drum.  So if it is a 10 inch drum and it mic's to 10 and 60 over then you might not beable to shave any more off the drum and it might be at its max diameter.  so if under the the 60 ver say 40 then you are still good to go and could take a skim slice of the drum to make it a perfect round.

Thanks. Couldn't remember if it was .060 or not. .060 is max turn and .090 is too thin.

I have a measuring gauge. Will pack it with the cutting tools for the trip.
