<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>Can someone clarify a few of the comments on drum balancing. A couple of people said they had them done by various specialists on a lathe by skimming the fins. This will make the outside of the drum round, which I imagine must help, but that is different from balancing, which I understand may involve subtracting and/or adding weight in strategic places, as one would in balancing a tyre. I don’t think balancing can be achieved simply by truing the outside of the drum, but I am glad to be corrected. So by drum balancing, are these wonderful accolades a result of drum truing or drum balancing? </span></div>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"> </div>
<div>One major thing to keep in mind when having someone balance your wheels or shave your tires is how they are mounted on their machine. Wire wheels must be mounted on the machined surfaces not just with internal cones as a company that does not normally balance wire wheels would do. It won't do any good to shave the tires from the wrong center.</div>
<div>So a specialist who understands British wire wheels is essential to having the job done properly. Besides Hendrix there is K & T Vintage Sports Cars in Bethlehem, PA owned by Ken Beck, an Austin-Healey owner. Check their website at <a href="http://www.ktvintagecars.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.ktvintagecars.com/</a> for a video of the tire shaving process. I have some new tires for my MG wire wheels that I will have them mount and balance, and shave if required. I know Ken, but never had any work done by him. Others have great things to say about the process and their work in general.</div>
<div>I had my drums balanced several years ago by the local NAPA machine shop who do my engine rebuild machining.</div>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal">Another satisfied customer of Hendrix Wire Wheels. Mounted and balanced my Dayton wheels, shaved the Michelin's and balanced the rear drums. Had it up to 104 mph on our speed run last summer (It's got a V8 but the rest of the suspension is stock Healey) and was smooth all the way up. Drives at 2,000 rpm at 70 mph with its five speed and it's just a joy. Time for new tires this year and they are going back to Hendrix for the treatment. Probably the most satisfying money you can spend on a Healey. </div>
