Default Brake drums

I have a 1967 FLH with Hyraulic rear drum brake and drum front brake, I cannot find the wear specs. For the front drum. Can they be turned ?

Not sure of the wear specs, but I had the front drum on my 49 turned wirh no problems afterward. Stops about as good as it can.

I have a good friend that turned the drums on my 49 EL as well as the drums on my 64 Elko. If you can find a wheel shop in your area that still does the work, I would imagine it would be a lot cheaper.
