Agreed, I had the tires shaved and the rear brake drums balanced - now no scuttle shake.

Once hot I never heard it.  Then--------I took a 600 mile trip over the last two days.  I began to hear it more and at different times---Pushing the clutch in, starting the car and downshifting.  Several times I heard what sounded like a "ping" when I pressed the cutch pedal.

I have balanced all wheels--even added the scuttle shake "mod"  (cross beams on the inner body, behind the engine) and had the rear drums balanced locally.  All to no avail-----between 55 and 65 there is comes again!!  The drive was wonderful all the while as long as I drove slower or faster than these speeds.
