Subject: Re: LG45 brake drum bands
My LG45 DHC is still a bit away from the road so I won't be able to hear the results of no bands for a while. It interesting that it is only the front drums which have the bands (the same with my M45 kit of parts) Do they squeal because they take more braking force or is it perhaps steering related? If you're experimenting I'd steer clear of the asbestos rope, but I'm not sure what you could replace it with. Whatever the rope, it needs to be non water aborbing and somehow sealed into the groove to stop the corrosion.
