Sounds from brake drum

<< < (3/4) > >>

Thanks for that Dave, I've ordered one.  ;)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Reading this thread does make me think that as long as the main brake pedal is not fluttering as per Bryans post it's no surprise that under gentle braking there is some noise most likely from the leading shoe.

Both rear brake shoes are activated by the turn of the shaft that effectively means there is one leading shoe and one trailing shoe. Under very light braking the trailing shoe does very little, the braking starts on the leading shoe hence possibly  the longer noise. With the removal of asbestos in modern linings that might also account for the noise under very light braking. I would not be too worried myself once you are sure it's not linked to accumulated brake dust.

Removed the arm from the spare brake plate I had stored,  nothing,  no dust seal, no washer

EEEEK!  :o Mine isn't that bas Dave. However the bits arrived today, but after nearly earning myself a hernia fitting my new header pipes/collecter box I've done enough for one day!  8)

exvalvesetdabbler:
If the headers are on and you still have all the skin on your knuckles the I would chalk it up as a win. 

Just keep an eye on the nuts that hold the headers on, they might just need a quarter turn once things have settled in or if you hear a bit of a crackle around them with the engine running.

Regards
Dave
