Default Re: 72 T/A progess

Well she is home now. I picked her up this afternoon so I can put the exhaust, gas tank and lines etc., back in. And also to let the body work set and shrink a few weeks too.







When I backed the rig into my driveway I heard a hissing sound from one side of the trailer and a jingling sound from the other. The hiss was a small bolt stuck in the tire. I was able to patch that pretty easily. This is what the "jingling sound" was:



Look a little closer in the holes. You can see a bizarre brake drum problem.



The brake drum cracked and sheared off the hub. All the brake components remained intact but the drum kind just spun happily along with the wheel and hub. I guess its time to change all the hub/drum assemblies $$$
