Wobbling Rear Brake Drum

Post by Austin-App73-77 »

I am building a very special Austin 12/4 and have finally got it’s modified Prop-shaft fitted ( it’s from a old Morris Marina to do away with the cloth coupling at the gearbox).

I ran the engine with the car in 4th gear and the rear wheels raised off the ground and find that the off side rear brake hub is wobbling badly, but with no play at the wheel when rocked from side to side.

Anyone had a similar problem?

Is the hub fitting on the taper correctly and the key fitting properly?
