resurfacing drums on a full float

[brans87]

Anyone here ever had there drums resurfaced on a 14 bolt full float?

I have a Hunter BL505 here at work with some pretty big adapters and wondering if worth it to try turning then and I feel little warpage in rear when braking.

Curious if worth the effort of tearing them apart and trying to resurface vs buying aftermarket drums.

Either way your gonna have to tear them apart...... Measure them and if there still turn able do it, if not buy new . Or even better yet Disc Conversion time!

I would see if they will true up.
If you have the tools to do it, why not?
I had to pay/wait to get the ones on my old '79 done, but all was good afterwards.
But it just needed the surface cleaned.

I was an automotive machinist for 22 years and have machined many of those drums. Just remember that the drum needs to be attached to the hub in order to machine it properly so you'll be setting up on the inner bearing race and the inner race of the outer bearing.
