Nice write up and dialogue but I have to go with Mark on this one,its cheaper and safer to replace them.
You may find that after a few months they start to weep because of the amount of metal although small that has been removed through polishing etc.

Hard to find cylinders are better repaired with a stainless liner pressed in to suit after boring,dont get me wrong I am not putting a dampner on your excellent thread and explanation.

Have you got the resin off yet Nathan.

Drum brakes and they force the shoes against the drum,safety critical.
