[Healeys] Healey Noise?????

[Rich]

Thanks to Bob Yule, on the list who said it might be the emergency brake cable
on the drive shaft.   He was right!

The list is great!

Need some help with a noise from
the rear axle area (57BN4).  Went out for a drive and after about 30 miles the
noise began.  I originally thought it might be a broken brake shoe spring that
had fallen onto the drum, nope.  I can't tell if it a scrape or grind.   It
has kinda a scrape with a click like something in a fan.  The noise increases
when I let off the gas and coast.  The noise is the same in neutral coasting
down hill (forward and reverse). 

This winter I did remove the right axle and
changed the O-ring and paper seal (had a minor leak after 55 years).  I gently
reinserted the axle without problems.

I could really entertain some ideas, as
I am a long way from Healey knowledge.

I used my Iphone to record the noise.
 Here are two short recordings:

Any and all help
welcome.
