My parking brake band is worn to the metal and the drum is deeply grooved. I want to have the band relined and the drum turned. Where can I find the specs? How thick for the lining and how much can I have the drum turned?

My parking brake band is worn to the metal and the drum is deeply grooved. I want to have the band relined and the drum turned. Where can I find the specs? How thick for the lining and how much can I have the drum turned?
From Appendix 2 of the -34 manual:
Parking Brake:
Drum diameter 7.84”
Lining size 7-31/32” x 2” x 1/4”
I knew it was in there somewhere. You got that thing memorized? :lol:Quote:

Remember, it is a parking brake and not an emergency brake. For parking, you can live without the drum being turned.
