Tag: Rear Brakes
Took a detour on the way back from Wheels Day to collect my rear brake backing plates from Austen Metcalf at Ozcraft in Bisley. Austen has done an excellent of reworking these later hydraulic brake backing plates to fit my 1929 Sports Coupe. Pnce I have the sump completed I can start on the brakes,
Took a first look at my rear hubs, brakes & axle shafts this weekend, learned a lot 🙂
Learned that the rear axle shafts had been shimmed, also learned that this is pretty common practice 🙂
Learned that the rear shoes need some attention, along with the backplates and hardware.
Happy that I was able to remove the hubs with my three legged puller, and I need a different castellated nut for the OSR (I think?? )
Got some useful info from the H.A.M.B. always 🙂
