John, What are you doing? I have posted pictures without an issue on this forum. I have followed the instructions posted by Kevin, added the image to my gallery and posted without an issue. Anyone listening to you would think it's really difficult which it isn't. Chris

My rotoflex GT6 has developed a rubbing noise from the rear nearside hub. Its just passed its MOT with no issues but the noise has got annoying. I have already had both drums off and checked all the drive-shafts etc and found nothing untoward. I decided to have another look today and noticed that the outside edge of the brake shoe had been rubbing against the side of the drum (IE not the braking surface).After a bit of investigation I noticed that the spring that holds the shoe against the backplate was not doing its job. The spring had been purchased during the restoration of the car and on comparing it with an original I found it was about half the thickness. Replacing it was a second hand original solved the problem. Another case of pattern parts not being fit for purpose.

Probably a bit late now but does this help:

Hi Roy, The neck for the cap is screwed in place. The on on mine was damaged so I had to get it out. It took some doing and I think its unlikely to come out undamaged. However they are made by CEANDESS: http://www.ceandess.co.uk/Images/CEANDESS%20FILLER%20CAPS.pdf And I got a new cap and neck directly from them. The caps are used on quite a few british bikes quite often locking but I got a new plain cap. What paint did you use to refinish your cover? It looks good. Regards Chris

My current GT6

If, as I suspect on my car, this initial process is not carried out correctly is there any way to clean the pads and start again?

Hi, I fitted 12mm Land Rover studs to my GT6. they looked enormous compared to the original studs. There are a few versions some of which have a chamfered shoulder and some not. The ones I got were chamfered so fitted without modification to the to the to the hub end of the stud. However the studs had too much plain shank so I had cut a few extra turns of thread with a die.
