Carrier Rear Brake Drums
Hi folks.
I am in need of brake drums for the carrier, I have a set which someone has over machined in the past, I would rather put on some drums which fitted the original brake shoes. Have carrier parts to trade. kev.

You can always get shims put behind your new linings, or re-arc the shoes (grind the linings so the fit is right) to fit the drums. Likelihood is you will never wear out a set of shoes, but there is no replacement for nice smooth drums on a carrier.

Can you not have the drums re lined, my thoughts were along the lines of machining the hub out then heat it up, drop a pre machined ring in so when the hub cools it grabs the ring and you have in essence new hubs

I have never heard of such a thing as sleeving the drums.
A brake reliner can usually supply thicker shoe linings however to match up to oversize drums. Likely a lot cheaper (and a lot more accepted) than Richard's suggestion. My apologies to Richard: there are no bad ideas when brainstorming.

What happens when your drum gets hot? Does the sleeve spin?
 Not saying it cant be done, just have some safety concerns. What is a brake? a device that converts kinetic energy into heat (which is then disapated into the air)

I know but I would imagine that the hub would need to be glowing to get the sleeve to fit, is he going to be driving the carrier hard enough and long enough to generate that kind of heat ?...... I suppose a key way could be machined between drum and sleeve
twas just a thought, I am sure an engineering firm would be able to give the in's and out's
