Title: Rear brake drum bearing
Post by: colinbrannigan@aol.com on June 07, 2026, 07:48:44 PM
Hi there,
As this is my first post since I became a member let me introduce myself, my name is Colin and I am from Swansea, I recently bought a 1932 Model 9 Twin Port it was in big pieces, very rusty with quite a lot missing so it will require total rebuild, I am ex Bowden toolmaker where I worked for forty years in Llanelli when that closed I then worked for Hi-lex another cable manufacturing company, so that's me and now down my first problem.

The rear brake drum set up with the bearing, I understand the bearing is pressed into the drum but what controls it's position on the spindle, I have added photos of my set up and you can see a spacer with two tapped holes, I can't see this item in the spares book, I would be glad of any advice.

Thanks for your time

Colin
