<VV> Relining Drums

[Smitty Smith]

The other point is that the steel drum has a softer iron "lining"
that the  
shoes brake against.  This is the part that must be of a minimum thickness  to 
accept the heat and pressure of the brake linings (shoes).   Theoretically, if 
you don't distort the steel drum your could "reline" them with 
more iron from time to time--totally impractical, but possible.
 
Bob Hall------------------------------Smitty Says:  Bob your logic has gone astray this time.  In the 61 manual it describes a press in insert to refurbish the wear surface of a drum that had been turned out oversize.
