It looks like the kit is designed to follow the Dunlop/MWS recommendations
for balancing. See attached. It should be a good piece of kit.

I'm wondering if it works with my Daytons. Daytons can be balanced off the
straight back of the hub. They don't need to be centered through the taper
like others.

I think with Dayton Wheels it depends on the vintage. Pre 1990 wheels would
require the same adapter AH Spares is offering but post 1990 wheels can use
the standard tapered cone or the AH Spares adapter. See attached.

Worth the money if you don't have any shops in your area that have the 
adapter (pretty much most of the chain tire shops).

I made up my own adaptor using a used hub and knock-off (spinner).  I =
had a machinist mount the hub on the lathe and ensure that it was true =
on the inside edges (where the bearings fit) and had him put a slight =
chamfer on the edges to provide better registration for the standard =
cones on a modern balancer.  Then we machined the centre out of the =
spinner so  that when the wheel is mounted on the hub and the spinner is =
tightened, the outer cone on the balancer fits through it and registers =
on the hub.  That part is a little tricky as if you machine the hole too =
big, the spinner will end up in two pieces =E2=80=93 measure carefully!  =
Hub and spinner was $25 at a swap meet and machining was $50.  I believe =
this adaptor will work on any post-war wire wheels except the Jags, =
which had different hubs.  Worked a treat on my TC wheels.  Healey is =
running vibration-free- so leaving it alone for now.

=20

I too liked on-wheel balancing and in my simple thinking it balanced the =
drum or disk at the same time =E2=80=93 as long as you remembered to =
mark the position of the wheels when you took them off and did not =
rotate them (to a different position on the car)!  That is likely one =
reason  they are not used anymore, because if your drums were out of =
balance and you added weights to the wheel that balanced them out, then =
every time you removed the wheel, you=E2=80=99d loose the balance, =
unless it went back in exactly the same position.   Anyhow it=E2=80=99s =
a moot point as I have not seen an on-wheel balancer for decades.   I =
imagine that disks run very true anyhow, but when I balanced the drums =
on the TC  they were significantly off.  I hear balancing Healey drums =
brings good results, but never felt the need as my BT7 has always run =
pretty smooth.  If anyone in Ontario (Canada) wants drums balanced, =
Garland and Sons in Scarborough did great work for me.

Here in Brisbane there=E2=80=99s at least one place (near me) that does =
on-car balancing. The wheels on my 100 don=E2=80=99t have a central =

Another consideration for balancing the rear tires is the brake drums. I
have the original BMC brake drums and was surprised at how out of balance
they were. I static balanced the brake drums to go with the
separately balanced wheels and tires. No vibrations, shimmies or skuttle
shakes so far.

Lucky for me I am close enough to Nate Jones Tire in Long Beach,
California. They do modern tire mounting of course, but they are the go to
people for for classic wire, wood water tire mounting. They even can shave
your tire round and concentric.

Harold,

How did you balance the drums - add or remove material? Care to provide 
any details?

                    had a machinist mount the hub on the lathe and
                    ensure that it was true on the inside edges (where
                    the bearings fit) and had him put a slight chamfer
                    on the edges to provide better registration for the
                    standard cones on a modern balancer.  Then we
                    machined the centre out of the spinner so  that when
                    the wheel is mounted on the hub and the spinner is
                    tightened, the outer cone on the balancer fits
                    through it and registers on the hub.  That part is a
                    little tricky as if you machine the hole too big,
                    the spinner will end up in two pieces – measure
                    carefully!  Hub and spinner was $25 at a swap meet
                    and machining was $50.  I believe this adaptor will
                    work on any post-war wire wheels except the Jags,
                    which had different hubs.  Worked a treat on my TC

                    on-wheel balancing and in my simple thinking it
                    balanced the drum or disk at the same time – as long
                    as you remembered to mark the position of the wheels
                    when you took them off and did not rotate them (to a
                    different position on the car)!  That is likely one
                    reason  they are not used anymore, because if your
                    drums were out of balance and you added weights to
                    the wheel that balanced them out, then every time
                    you removed the wheel, you’d loose the balance,

Absolutely. The brake drums are likely to be far more out of balance than
the tires, if the drums on every Healey I've had are typical.

Bob,

I borrowed a balancing stand from the machine shop that did the work on my
Healey engine. They use the balancer for large grinding wheels. Pictures
attached. I used fridge magnets to statically balance the drum. Kept adding
weight and moving around until the drum was stable through 360 degrees. The
balancing stand was very sensitive. I weighed the fridge magnets on a small
digital scale to figure out how much weight to add and used 1/4" diameter
solid lead wire for the weight and glued it behind the rib with JB Weld.
Available at any good fishing gear store.

That worked for the first drum but the second drum was so out of balance I
had to remove part of the rib on the heavy side and add lead weight on the
light side. As you get further away from the heavy or light spot there are
diminishing returns to adding or subtracting weight.

It sounds way more complicated than it was but the key piece of kit is the
balancing stand.

Let me know if you would like any more information.

Harold

I sent my drums to Hendrix to be balanced, some of my Healey associates had
them balanced locally.
Some said I was crazy....lol
It's amazing how bad some of the they were out of balance.
Some need more materia (welding)l, some less (shaving).

Me too had my rear drums balanced.
A local machine shop with dynamic balancing equipment did this for me - big
improvement.
See photo of drum after grinding off a substantial amount along the
periphery.
See also the before and after out of balance readings.

Bob:  If you are wondering about brake drum balancing methods, you may =
be interested in the two methods used on my Healeys.=20

=20

One shop trimmed off the fins as needed to balance the drums, one =
needing more trimming than the other =E2=80=93 but they both came out =
well.

=20

A different shop welded rod material onto my current BJ-8=E2=80=99s =
drums to balance them. I think these drums were more out of balance than =
on prior cars. They were careful to call me ahead of the operation to =
ask how much clearance I had between the wheel and drum, and I was able =
to take them a wheel and hub so they could see how it all fit together.  =
The results are just fine, also.

All the best,

Harold,

How did you balance the drums - add or remove material? Care to provide =
any details?

Bob Haskell

Another consideration for balancing the rear tires is the brake drums. I =
have the original BMC brake drums and was surprised at how out of =
balance they were. I static balanced the brake drums to go with the =
separately balanced wheels and tires. No vibrations, shimmies or skuttle =
shakes so far.=20

     The drums for my BN2 has sections of the raised rim machined off. =
Does this mean my drums were balanced in the past?

With all this noise about balancing brake drums I thought I had better take
a look at the ones on my BN2.
I'm in the process if machining them back to  balance now.
Bit of a task on my 12" lathe but it's happening.
