Gordon,
Many TD brake drums have been turned too many times. To my knowledge new re=
placement TD drums are not available. Converting to TF wire wheels and brak=
e drums (which are available new from MOSS et al) is a pricey option. My TD=
 drums are serviceable. With new brake shoes I have six or seven clicks bef=
ore the shoes bind on the drums to be backed off one click. This means I wi=
ll prematurely run out of brake adjustment before my brake shoes have a who=
le lot of wear on them.
=20
My TC drums had been turned too far for me to have any appreciable adjustme=
nt with new brake shoes. I took the car to Page Brake( who are now located =
out west of Salt Lake City on 3760 West Commons Lane, 13th-ish(?) South) an=
d had Page apply extra thick linings to my brake shoes. This seemed to be a=
 fair option because the drums did not appear to have been turned so far th=
ey would distort under hard braking or be particularly susceptible to warpi=
ng. On my TF which has an MGA rear axle and brakes under it, I had MOSS par=
t number 180-140 (item 61 on page 25 of their 2013 spring/summer catalog) m=
odified by welding a 1/8 " thick piece of metal to the brake shoe adjuster =
mask. This extra I/8" gave me the brake adjustment I needed for this partic=
ular rear-end conversion that involved combining T-Series and MGA component=
s. So, if you feel your drums have enough meat left on them you might consi=
der trying brand new brake shoes, or new custom thicker linings on your exi=
sting brake shoes, or modifying your brake shoe adjuster masks.
