Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I am trying to determine the safe wear limits of the brake drum inside diameter for the 1941-120 12 inch brakes and for the 1941-110 11 inch brakes. I figured that this must have been discussed before so I tried using the search and advanced search functions, using "brake drums" as the key words, found nothing useful, probably my inexperience in searching. Any help would be appreciated. Tis the season for preventative maintenance.

G'day packa41,
Although a PackardInfo member for some time see it's your first post, so

However I can't help with but query, but do invite you to include your 41's(120 & 110?) in the Packard Owner's Registry.

for including your '41 One-Ten Deluxe Club Coupe in the Registry.
And sorry no one, as yet, has responded to your query.

Acceptable practices is no more that sixty thousandths over what is new.

Thanks
James

Thank you for your response. This agrees with the value that I found in an old Hot Rod paperback book on Brakes. I am less that 30 thousands over original on both cars - good to go.

More packa41, this time for including your '41 One-Twenty Convertible Coupe in the Registry.
