daverclasper Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hi On Vitesse, this has recently started on occasion. Any ideas on what it may be. Don't know if brakes, or load on brakes maybe moving something loose on axles/suspension. Any help great please. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjit Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Something else to check - have the slave/handbrake cam worn the back plate? The slave cylinder is meant to slide in the grove, and the handbrake cam slide with it but 40 years of wear on my Spitfire had left a few groves and the assembly would momentarily get caught in the wear marks, then suddenly release and thump the shoes against the drum.

Pete Lewis Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 and when looking at rear brakes we have just found another where both trailing shoes are upside down The rearmost must have the square hole in the web at the bottom.

Pete Lewis Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 when its warmer and you have a lust for removing brake drums make sure the trailing shoe is not fitted upside down the spare square hole for the handbrake lever must be at the bottom of the rearmost shoe not at the top like the front, leading shoe its a good one for knock ,bangs and poor adjustments Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
