Here's the problem. I purchased the drums from Moores in SD and they had them turned before shipping. However when I check them against my existing ones (which are maxed out size wise) these are turned down even more. Before I call Moores to get another set or my $ back, I would like to know the factory spec max. My reference book says never go over .060, but this references passenger car drums. I have seen .080 as another figure but am assuming their is a general standard for the larger truck drums. I would thing the military manuals would have it clearly stated. Any help is appreciated.
