I drilled out the remaining part of the screw and will need to tap out the thread on rebuild.

Hand brake attachment – for my reference only for when I refit with new shoes
This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.

Finally got it...
Well after days of using DW-40 on the retaining screw on the L/H brake drum. I drilled the head off and removed the drum, stripped out the brake shoes and removed the brake cylinder. Cleaned and bagged.
I drilled out the remaining part of the screw and will need to tap out the thread on rebuild.

Hi Kent again,
ReplyDeleteWhen you put the rear brakes back together you may need this site - I used it when I forgot how the self adjusters went back together after renewing the brake cylinder - he has some good tips http://web.mac.com/jclaythompson/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
It is a guy call J.Clay & more can be found on the US Site for TR7's
