Any new linings should be ground to the radius of the drum inside diameter when applied and not rounded at rest.

Cheers Tony.

Tony did you mean a "brave" man at GMH, I can't get the image of the drum performing a Mexican Wave out of my head.
Is he saying the shoes should be ground to the shorter radius of the stretched drum's elipse?  Wink  cheers  Russell

Russell,

If you were brave I suppose you could line the drum with emery cloth and do a run around the block with light application, although I expect this wouldn't stretch the drum enough ! Big Grin

Cheers, Tony.
