Looking for a source of front brake drums for my 57 100-6.
I have spent a lot of time over the years getting rid of the healey 
shake and want really good ones. Any suggestions?

Message-ID: <CAFP1XCD5aH-jZiu0YVPH_cQ1cozC=8qhpOt295tQRuPjqvHTWw@mail.gmail.com>

I was going through an old box of parts that came with my Mk l BT7 and
found two horns that don't appear to be original to the car. They are
painted a very dark green, which looks to be original, and have a somewhat
British appearance. I couldn't find any identifying marks on them. Picture
attached.

Would anyone happen to know what they might be?

Thanks,
Harold

I would switch to front discs for safer stops?the stock early or late 3000 setup works great. If you must stick with front drums (the rears work well and needn?t be changed to discs as the front brakes do more of the work??anyway), consider switching to Alfin alloy drums, which being lighter, should address the shake you mention. They aren?t cheap, but neither is a swap to?front discs. Good luck!

Listers,

I am soon going to replace the tires on my 66 BJ8.

Currently, my tires (Pirelli P 6000) are showing wear in the middle of the
tread and slight wear on the outside and inside edge of the tires.  I am
running 30 lbs in the tires.

What pressure do most of you use?

Thanks,

Fred

Hi there,

If you choose to stay with the OEM cast drums, I strongly recommend having
them statically balanced. I only have experience with the rear drums, and I
didn't initially think they were a problem. However, after balancing them,
I was surprised by the amount of weight added and material removed to
achieve a static balance.

Best of luck,
Harold

Fred,

30psi with Michelin XAS 180HR15. If you want to go down a rabbit hole look
into the tire contact patch calculator.

I have always used 30 psi in front and rear in my ?66 BJ8, since 1984.   The current set is Nexen, installed new in 2015 and now with 11,000 miles.  I haven?t driven the car much since the 6000 mile roundtrip to AHCA Conclave in South Dakota in 2019, thanks to Covid and then the focus on restoration of another car and none of the tires are showing wear.  It?s too bad about waste of aging tires, isn?t it?

Hi,

I use Michelin XAS | 180HR15, running at 28 PSI in the front and 30 PSI in
the rear.
I had them shaved, mounted and balanced by Allen Hendrix.
I am very happy with the work, and the tires.

I too have XAS's--my second set--and I run 30 PSI all around.  My car,
being a BN1 is a bit lighter than later models, but I don't think it
matters.
Great tires.

I Agree with Harold. If you stick with drums, having them balanced by a good machine shop will go a long way towards making the car smoother.

 

I have had the rear drums balanced on multiple Healeys and it always helped. 

 

Funny story: on the last car, I asked at the parts store whether their machine shop could balance drums? They ?corrected? me and told me I meant have the drums turned? After much back and forth, we agreed that I knew what I wanted and they could do it. But, they patted me on the head and said this will be easy because how far out of balance could the drums be??

 

A couple of hours later the machine shop called asking how much clearance is there between the drum and the wheel? It turned out just trimming the fins wasn?t going to cut it, and he had to weld in substantial weight to compensate for the bad casting!  I took him the wheel, hub and spinner so he could see how it all fit up, and the work was done in short order. The machinist was amazed the casting could be that far off, and I was amazed at just how much smoother the car ran down the road.  And that was the rear drums!  Just imagine what balancing front drums will do for the car.

All the best,

Hi there,

 

If you choose to stay with the OEM cast drums, I strongly recommend having them statically balanced. I only have experience with the rear drums, and I didn't initially think they were a problem. However, after balancing them, I was surprised by the amount of weight added and material removed to achieve a static balance. 

 

Best of luck,

Harold

Subject [Healeys] front brake drums
I sorted my BN6 drum issues by having a shop balance my drums. I used an agricultural machine shop in Oxnard Ca, as there are a lot of farms in that area. They balanced all four drums for about $100.?
FYI-I would always balance the tires/wheels on the vehicle, there was no problem after the drum balance work.?

I have 185x70 HR15 Vredenstein with tubes with 28 lb all around running evenly on my BN7.

I have been running tracks and instructing for a number of years with Porsches. Last year for the first time my front tires corded in the middle and not the edges. Falken RT 660 with a 200 wear rating. First time with that tire. That condition typically exists when tires overheat and expand getting rounder. Sometimes my tire pressure will increase 10-12 lbs. I check air A lot obviously for handling.
    So my question would be to Fred: are you driving somehow where tire heat is putting 6-8 lbs of extra pressure in your tires ?

Regards,
Richard C

Although in a slightly different context I am finding that Pirellis 
suffer quite badly after a while, on the walls in particular, after long 
runs in upper 20s - 40C, although they are manufacturer-specified on my 
non-Healey daily driver. The first set I got had to be replaced after 
less than half their anticipated life.

I gather that a lot of people prefer the Michelin option to the Pirellis 
for my car. The walls seem, in general, to be more robust.

Just to be clear I am not talking of a Healey here. On that I run mostly 
Vredensteins. I have heard good things about Yokos on Healeys, too. 
Though clearly not OE. :-)

2p, FWIW
