RE: [Chrysler300] 300H Front Brakes

Hi Doug, 

As long as your brake shoes are contour ground to match each drum, I don't
think it would present a problem.  I seem to remember my old-timer brake
shop dude telling me that .060 was the safest one should go... Also a major
factor, how much and how hard will you drive your 300H?  I've permanently
solved the awful, center-plane front brake issues on all my cars by doing
disc conversions; I've kept all the drum parts  so that the cars can be
returned to stock later on, by the next owners, but sure as heck not by me.

Subject: [Chrysler300] 300H Front Brakes

Hi Group, I am rebuilding the front brakes on one of my H's and have two
questions. The left front drum has been previously turned to .070" over 12".
The service book says that the max allowable is .030". How dangerous is it
to still use this drum? The right front drum has not been turned and should
be cleaned up at less than .030".  I am planing to use the left drum as is.
Will different inside drum diameters cause a problem?  Doug Warrener
