Waiting for another backplate - hopefully this one will be good and I can start putting Lurch back together.

Finally got a good backplate. I put some pictures up of some of the work. Really must get better at taking photos whilst I am doing the work! Get involved in doing the work, then if I remember , I have horrible greasy, dirty hands and don’t want to pick up the camera!
Still, every thing is back together again. Will take it for a test drive tomorrow.

Is this going to be 4th time lucky with the backing plates?

Re: Rear passenger (UK nearside) Drum
I received a good backplate and finished the rebuild / repair on Lurch yesterday. Now, I need to go for a test drive to see if things like the brakes work on the road as opposed to on the drive!
So that's the "original" backplate - cracked basically from top to bottom, 1st replacement backplate - wrong side, 2nd replacement backplate - cracked along the top and bottom where the casting changes to the flat plate section, 3rd replacement backplate - Good and now installed!
That does not include the other 2 backplates I have in my spares which were also the wrong side! but at least I didn't go through the rigmarole of cleaning them before finding that out!
