Re: Rear axle noise on spitfire

Nikki,

I had a similar noise coming from the rear of my 78 Spit. I asked the
local brit mechanic to check. He could find nothing. The noise was so
worrisom, i began to check. I finally found that the bolts that hold the
brake plate on were all loose. One had fallen completly out and was
makeing the noise. You might want to check by removing the rear wheels
(start with the side it sounds like the noise is coming from), remove
the drum, and look for the loose bolts that hold the braking assymbly in
place. Good Luck!!
