How good does the seal surface of the brake drums need to be? Mine seemed to have polished up pretty good with some emory cloth but its not slick smooth. Also on one I can feel a slight bump where the key slot is cut. Ill try to get some pictures this afternoon. |

The bump at the key groove will have to be smoothed off the be a good seal. The rest of the seal area only needs to be groove and pit free. If the seal area is to rough you can use a speedie sleeve to fix it. It's not a big problem.

Ill have the machine shop look at the bump when I have them turn the inside brake surface.
 here is the other one.  Another question. One of my front drums is loose in the slot that hold it to the hub. It can move back and forth a little bit. Is this one out of commision or is there a way to tighten it up?

Here is the loose drum I am talking about. Its loose where the tabs go into the slots all the way around.

A groove in the seal area can cause it to leak. It may need speedie sleeves. I would not use the loose drum in the photo.

Ok I finally got my drums back where I could measure them. I measured right at 2.00 with my calipers. It looks like sleeve number 99199 should do the trick. Its for shaft size 1.997-2.003 and is .563 wide. I will post again on this thread in a few days when i get them to let others know if that is the right one. I found them on ebay for $15.00 each!
