After successfully upgrading to disc brakes on the front of my 59 Bugeye and replacing the MC with a 3/4" unit, I decided to go all the way and upgrade the rear drums to the later dual piston cylinder type. I bought all the parts from a later model Midget - backing plates, springs, e-brake links, and ordered new shoes, new cylinders, etc. Even bought new wheel bearing kits too.
I had the drums machined to remove 1/16" off the edge so they wouldn't rub against the backing plates. Did the changeover, but now the original hubs are rubbing against the backing plates!
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a common preferred solution?
