need A65 brake drum spec

[StanR]

Finally got a response from BAR. They gave me a letter to show the VSSI station to use the Practical Service Limits that I found. Next step is to find a station that will actually do the inspection and accept the letter.

Have you tried contacting the BSA club in England? They have all the factory records on that stuff.

No I haven't, but I've got what I need now. I'm sure they'll have the factory build specs, but max wear specs are probably something the factory wasn't concerned about. My guess is the ones that are available are because government started mandating them .

That wear limit was mandated in England a long time ago. Inspections are commonly talked about in English motorcycle magazines.

That's great news! Good luck, and you may have saved a bunch of old bikes from being parted out.
