[Healeys] BN1/2 Scuttle Shake

[Bob Spidell]

Thanks, Keith. The drums have been balanced. I think it's untrue wheels.

Bob, 

I have probably posted this before and forgive me if I have. But I found much of my "shake rattle and roll" was eliminated by balancing the brake drums. Especially a concern with 4 on your 100. Find a bubble balancer (borrowed one from my mechanic) and some weights and you should be able to do it yourself. Made a big difference on my BJ8!!!!!!

I'm well familiar with the (in)famous 'scuttle shake' in the 6-cyl cars; do the 4-cyl cars suffer from this as well? Our BN2 has a bit at the typical speeds--55-60MPH--but it's not as bad as my BJ8's. My wheels are not especially true and I'm wondering if I can expect the shake to diminish or even go away entirely if I can find someone to true them. 



TIA, 

Bob
