Cosmo,

Easy, just measure the internal diameter. In this case, you'll be
looking for a maximum allowable diameter measurement. I can't give you
that for a 240Z drum, but would be willing to bet you'll find it cast
into or stamped onto the drum somehwere. Drum and rotor manufacturers
are required to do this and servicing shops are required by law to abide
by the manufacturers' dimensions, both for safety reasons.
