The fade resistance of drum brakes is dependent on the mass of the drum absorbing the heat of braking as they cannot dissipate heat as quickly as discs. I sure don't like to see them as much as .060 over although I've had cars come in turned .125. The owner thought the brakes were supposed to be that bad.......

Anyway, have them turned lightly if need be. Grooves are not a problem unless very deep, but rusty patches are.

A 12" combination square is perfect for measuring; use it plus feeler gages to determine the actual diameter.
