I am having my brake drums turned for my early MkII Sprite...anyone know the minimum thickness or diameter?

Thanks!

7 inchs nominal.
 
< 7 1/8" maximum inside diameter. Anything over and the brakes won't function properly.
 
I just looked at a new one, and it's marked "Max bore diameter 180mm." Which is 7.086" Don't take any more off than absolutely necessary to clean it up.
I don't even bother with turning mine, I just replace them if they're worn.
