What is the inside measurement of a new 47 front drum..How much can it be tourned down..If turned down to much does it affect the holding ability ..Sure it does but??
 
The 1940 - 1948 Ford Brake Shoes and Brake Drums were 12" x 1 3/4"
for both Inboard and Outboard Mounted Hubs -- the Drums have different
center hole dimensions -- to mount the hub....

Either drum ---- 12.000" is N E W
12.090" is discard (throw away)

After .090" out -- you risk having serious problems -- because the
wheel cylinders will "explode" being pushed too far out....

I have BRAND NEW Drums (both) and NEW ++ Asbestos ++ Shoes
with NO CORE CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call me -- if you can for free -- I can call Canada for free --
Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935.... New York....:):)
