We think the rear drums can be skimmed out to a size a little under 16.050", and they could then be kept as a stand by in case we should at some future date need a set of rear drums. Please let us know if you agree to the above. As requested by you, we will address the drums for the attention of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Sr/VA. | ||
