Look at the state of the casting, notice how off centre the center spline is on this..poor quality replacement at least 10 yrs old.
Lovely new set of good quality drums from vwheritage.
Old swing axle and tube out also back plate, shoes, pistons, fittings, etc. Not very easy insitue. Brand new swing axle shaft because the old one had threaded the castle nut and fallen of at 40mph!!! Thank god the rear wheel just sat in the rear wheel fender/tub/arch!!!
So much better, all new rear brakes complimented by a recent all new front and cylinder replacement.
So I now need to replace the rear bearings and possibly new shocks all round but it is evedent that the front beam is knackered and I need a replacement, Darren??.
Got a fresh clean MOT for the bug just the other day, so just need another free 12 months road tax also!!!! ;) The only advisory was that it had an oil leak? Got some sanding done on Elcie with Neil today so hopefully a new post on her progress soon.
