Default brake drums

Jeep brake drums were nominally 9" (except for M38A1CDN3 of course; @ 10"). While most modern drums are marked with the allowable tolerances, most old jeep brake drums are not marked so inspectors don't know what is allowable. I believe 0.060 is the limit but I can't recall seeing this spec in any military jeep manuals. You'll have to sweet talk the inspector that 0.060 is tolerable.
