[Healeys] Balancing brakes drums the right way

[HealeyRick]

When I did my Ford V8 swap into my BJ7 I resolved to fix the scuttle shake
I experienced before I elected to do the shotgun approach. New Michelin XAS
tires were shipped to Hendrix along with my Dayton wheels. Everything there
was mounted, shaved and balanced. The brake drums were also balanced. I
also had Keith Pennell's modifications done to the doghouse. I've driven
this car over !00mph and it is rock steady. Something fixed the scuttle
shake, but I wish I could tell you which.
