need A65 brake drum spec

[StanR]

I've gotten my 1966 A65 Lightning to the point of registering it with the California DMV. It"s been a long process due to collecting parts and paperwork to get it to this point. Right now I've got a major hurdle. Due to it's having been a salvage vehicle (then put on non-operation over 20 years ago) I need to get a Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection. The problem is to get it done I need the OEM maximum wear specification for the brake drums. I've got the digital copy of the factory workshop manual that doesn't specify other than 8" front and &" rear drums. Would a Haynes or Clymer manual have such a spec? Has anyone run into this issue? California started this inspection program in June of 2024, so it's relatively new.

Have you looked inside the drum? Some have a max limit number cast in.

From my experience Haynes and Clymer manuals don’t have anything not in the triumph manuals. I’m sure BSA is the same.

I just checked the front drum, no such luck.
