The "new" drums cleaned up at .020" and were installed this afternoon. Also 'new' axle nuts. Only one axle needed replacing, so I have an extra, plus backing plate (to clean up). These changes pretty much eliminated any slip or slop in the rear-end.

Replacing the drive shaft spline will have to wait until after the Forest Grove Concours.http://forestgroveconcours.org

Same with a u-joint. But it's barely noticeable.

I'm confident I'll be ready to drive to CA in August and attend car week at Pebble.
