[Healeys] Rear drums 65 bj8

[HealeyRick]

Allen Hendrix will turn and balance your drums for about $100 each.
http://www.hendrixwirewheel.com/services.html  Shipping can be a bit expensive
but I found one of those thick Rubbermaid style storage bins available at all
the home stores is a really good container for shipping.  When drum brakes
were more common, part of a brake job was to "arc" the new shoes to fit the
drums.  Some old shops still have the machine to carry this out.

If you do this I suggest you consider having
them balanced as well.  Made a big difference on both my cars.

Team.

Any problems, issues, warnings,
suggestions about turning the rear drums on a Early Phase II BJ8? Any
recommendations for a shop in Southern Connecticut?

As I spin the rears while
adjusting the brakes the drums drag for half a rotation and free up. Both
sides. I'm guessing they need turning. (?)

I'm thinking this is why I can't
get the E-Brake to engage with any authority. Since I can't adjust the rear
shoes close enough and the E-Brake doesn't have "That" much travel, they
barely engage with the handle straight up.

It would work if the thumb release
had another tooth or two on which to grip.
