1929 M6 rear brake drum

[Tim K]

Hi Everyone
The rear brake drum on my M6 is beyond saving and my little benchtop lathe isn't up to the job of cutting a new one out of solid, so I'm looking for a replacement - before I make up a drawing to get quotes from local engineering companies, does anyone know of a source?
Cheers

Hi Tim, if you are not already a member it may be worth joining and asking on the Pre-War e-group https://ajsmatchless.groups.io/g/PrewarWDAJSM

There is also a link on the Links section of the club main site: https://www.jampot.com/links_showall.as ... MC+Related

I'm not familiar with the model, but a competent engineering shop could almost certainly sleeve your original?

The old brake drum is corroded beyond saving, but a local engineering company is machining a replacement for A$200 - which I think is reasonable.
Cheers
