Has anyone experienced a brake drum working loose and snagging on the shoes resulting in the need to replace the whole rear brake drum assembly? What is more remarkable is that the car has only done 7k km! I gather these brake units are now obsolete. Apparently there is a replacement system that can be used but you can't buy one, only a pair due to balancing issues. Can anyone shed light on this?
I have known of a brake drum becoming loose on a friend’s Morgan a few years back. The four little set screws that hold the drum on should have star washers on them and I guess a proper engineering approach, would mean renewing them each time they are removed. But I always also put a bit of thread-lock on first.
Agree with others’ comments about them being obsolete!
