More Stub Shaft; Brake Backing Plates

Good news about the stub shafts, they have been declared usable, and have cleaned up nicely.

The brake backing plates have also cleaned up pretty well. The bad news there is that the brake shoe pivot on one is loose (they should not move), and may be off-center on the other, most likely due to corrosion between the pivot and the plate. Given the importance of brakes, it may just be prudent to buy new backing plate assemblies.

    Mike,
    It looks like a parallel restoration to my own! Including the timeline. What's your estimated completion date?

    Hi Brian,

    It does indeed look as if there will be two freshly restored Land Rovers on the road at some point in the future. I've read through your blog, and have bookmarked it - looking forward to following your progress!

    No completion date set here - first goal is to just enjoy the project. :)

    Mike
