I think you are asking what the minimum thickness is on those drums. It might be stamped on the drum, or it should be in your shop manual. The place you take it for truing should know.


54 3100 with 235
62 flatbed dump C60 with 261

The local brake shops here will not turn a drum out any more than 1/16" oversize.
So if your standard drum is 11" then 11 1/16" is all that they would allow before sending you off to find some better ones.
They used to be more relaxed about it ,, but not so in the past 10yrs or so.
