Best to retain those old quality drums if possible, especially if they are OEM. If you do have them remachined beware of the hack running the brake lathe at the auto parts store. Often they do not mount the drum squarely on the machine and then remove many times more material than necc. to refinish. Find that quality shop in town that knows the old stuff and does it right.....
