1929 M6 rear brake drum

Hi Everyone
The rear brake drum on my M6 is beyond saving and my little benchtop lathe isn't up to the job of cutting a new one out of solid, so I'm looking for a replacement - before I make up a drawing to get quotes from local engineering companies, does anyone know of a source?
Cheers

I'm not familiar with the model, but a competent engineering shop could almost certainly sleeve your original?

The old brake drum is corroded beyond saving, but a local engineering company is machining a replacement for A$200 - which I think is reasonable.
