Since my car is waiting for a few parts (I'm getting ready to go to World
Finals) I thought I would look at the brake rebuild I did just before I went to
Speed Week. Turned all 4 drums, serviced the bearings, and put on new
seals...What could go wrong?
I washed out everything when I got back but wanted to look again. To my
surprise all the drums were very rusty from going through the water at the end
of the road twice. 2 hours of flapper wheeling brought them back to looking
good again. Just 3 weeks from the end of Speed Week; I'm glad I didn't just
load up and go. The rust would have destroyed the lining.
So if you haven't had a look I would do it before you think about that run to
El Mirage or Maxton...............Good Luck
