THE RWMGB pt. 5: REPAIRING THE RUST

[@markbrown3337]

The back brakes adjust up more automatically as the brake shoes wear down guys you need to reset the ratchet before replacing the drums Iam from the uk and I had one with the same problems

[@spongebobfenn]

It's not problems as such. It's just how drum brakes work. Some self adjust others need doing manually with a screwdriver on the winder

[@timwegman5776]

Just go in reverse and slam on the brakes that will adjust they tight again.

[@Dodds_Dirtbikes]

Cut out the rusty floors and weld new ones in. You can get new floor pans online for a couple hundred bucks. It would probably be easier than patching all of it.

[@spongebobfenn]

As been said already, the rear brakes need adjusting back in to compensate for the new pads. They were previously adjusted to cope with the wear and now need resetting with the adjuster. They should bind very slightly but still spin by hand. Will need checking and readjusting periodically as they wear

[@johncarter89]

Gold great video very informative and enjoy the realness of your videos your son running around and being apart of it props on being a great dad bro

[@johnmunyan863]

welding looked much better this time! couldn't actually see the welds super well first half but none of the sparky craziness you had when putting that back floor pan in. Good job!

[@realitybites4649]

You need to bring the adjuster all the way down first, then slide the drum on and start expanding the adjuster through a slot on the back plat with a screw driver.

[@johnsnider3400]

The issue with getting the drum back on is you have new pads, the adjuster needs to be turned out all the way. Put drum on and make sure drum spins. Turn adjuster back in until you start dragging on the drum then back out 1/2 turn (or some say just 1/4 turn). A good thing is to also make sure the park brake lever inside the drum is loose and moves freely. not a bad idea to just leave the park brake linkage undone until everything is back together. GOLD

[@jtarnecki83]

Use the adjusters for the rear brakes, they will pull the shoes in. Once the drum is on adjust it from behind the dust plate. The drum should still spin but with a little bit of resistance. Only replace the wheel cylinders if they are leaking. You can grab a flat head and lift up on the rubber boots on the wheel cylinders. If they have fluid behind the boots then replace.

[@dejanhajn9134]

Amazing work love your videos

[@jeffjamison8614]

Pure gold! I get the disappointment of not being able to fab the pans. You’ll end up being happier with full replacement pans.

[@prkidd23tc]

Adjust the brake shoes loose enough to get the drum on. Then manually adjust tighter until the shoes slightly drag inside the drum wall.

[@timwegman5776]

That’s right and a easy trick to tighten them is drive in reverse and slam on the brakes super hard a few times lol it works haha there are other ways but this is the funniest way.

[@adamhead5598]

Austin powers Goldmember voice - “I LOVE GOOOOLD” lol once again man keep it up can’t wait to see this thing progress and of course the finished product👍🏻

[@troyharris7264]

Victoria British/LMC Trucks in Kansas literally has every part imaginable. That’s actually the best part about owning these cars is the overwhelming accessibility to parts in the states.

[@sweettee3647]

When you open the rockers or quarter panels up. You should atleast coat the inside with por15 it will incapsulate the rust and help keep it from coming back.

[@carlnaesenius403]

Moss Motors have all the parts you need.

[@Licb0]

I get all my MGB parts from Moss. Good quality and pretty good shipping time and I’m in Canuckistan. Upvote for Moss. Diagrams and all over there too! MGBs can’t be beat in terms of availability of parts for old cars because of Moss Motors

[@MrLokojorge]

The drum brakes self adjust to compensate for the wear of the brake shoes. Since you replaced the pads with new ones, you are going to turn the screw adjuster that holds the bottom of you pads. Once your turn the adjuster down and install the drum, you should be able to adjust that from the back side.

[@denniswarnecke9590]

It’s awesome seeing your kids in the vids as well what a good dad !

[@liamdunlap9628]

adjuster the star wheel adjuster so the shoes are loose enough that the drum slides back and forth easily on it. tighten the adjuster until the drum is somewhat difficult to slide over the shoes.

[@Z3r0-Ski11z]

This channel is absolute GOLD!

[@trentyoung1135]

I like the MG build. It's pure GOLD

[@jglez9705]

Gold, lots of work to complet this project . Have fun.

[@josephknowles5114]

Every day's a learning day, enjoying this build, everything is available in the UK body shells and all, alth I believe them to be fibreglass.

[@joyridaz]

I wish u would show some of the welding more up close, also my favorite video game was Golden Eye, the OG of first person, multi-player video games!

[@mathewearnshaw4279]

You should grind away the lip off the outside of the brake drum and it should go on a lot easier, the other thing if you can't get it on without a hammer, your brake shoes are adjusted too much, the drums should spin but with some friction so it spins for about half a turn after you let go, I do loads of this at the garage I work at

[@jbrundrett]

Golden episode.. fyi pads on a drum brake are called shoes.. keep the vids coming!

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Gold? Just discoverd this Chanel. Need to se all episodes

[@vj2varun]

Gold. This project is gold!

[@kitterllsingleton9936]

The build is GOLD like what you are doing ✌🏽✌🏽

[@richardroot8390]

This channel is pure GOLD

[@john.e.kenney66]

Gold! Save the Brits. You can do it so hang in there. Moss it is.

[@filibertobarrera3839]

Problem is many shops use stud welders,migwelders,lead with torch,Tiga perfectly good rust patch,but the back of the panel is a burned,so 10 or 15 yrs later it eats thru the metal and it makes it seem like theybodyfilled over rust.

[@samvader9232]

you have to back off, the adjuster that on top. to compress the shoes to make the drum slid, in.

[@fabbricaitalianaautomobili5859]

Kaleb, note 📝

[@jaketolbert289]

Awesome channel my dude! Keep it up!!!

[@alanwhitehurst2576]

Great job as always your a hard worker ✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Gold

[@fabbricaitalianaautomobili5859]

I Just read through it , some people said it already, back out the square tapered head bolt you said lets the drums ( shoes) move out evenly , those are the golden thread you need

[@WRMonger1]

Didn’t go on easily because the adjuster was turned out. Gotta run the adjuster all the way in and adjust the brakes after the drum is installed. And replace the brake cylinder (servo).

[@freemantwins8731]

The garage is looking as good as gold!

[@TheGammer9797]

Go to Hart's website, they have a HUGE selection of tools and batteries. I've got an impact drill, a weed eater and blower and they all work really well. the bigger batteries are fairly priced aswell

[@mattbanagan]

This video is gold! Good content again

[@brandonprince678]

That MG is going to be “Gold”en when it’s done 👌🏻

[@MountTinMan]

Love the content, as always! As someone who's about to go through something similar I was hoping that you could go through the specifics of the materials you used. I know you mentioned steel but what gauge? Type of welder? Settings? Thank you!

[@jonwitherow1434]

These videos are golden!

[@ulerhond]

I don't think the wheel cylinder is the issue. Did you adjust the brakes (star wheel adjuster) inward so that they aren't rubbing the drum or where you have to force it on first? You use a screwdriver from the backside to adjust the wheel out again to firm the pads up once you have the wheel on.

[@jimhardy5349]

Bondo over rust sucks. At least they didn't stuff it with news paper, sad but I've seen it done.....keep up the good videos maan, stay safe..😀

[@Thomas-yv5yw]

Man your editing is so good you don't need a secret word I'm pretty sure no one misses one bit of ur vids cheers from France (no not Paris sorry)

[@VMPLAYSonYT]

It really looks like it's hiding more rust some part of it but this car is GOLDen and looking forward to see it runs. Goodluck with the rust Mr. Z...

[@uncleslammer1]

You should never have to hammer any brake parts into place especially anything that's supposed to spin. Your issue with putting on the drum properly was adjustment if it's not adjusted properly the drum won't slip over the shoes you have to adjust them down until it slips over with just has a minimal amount of drag.

[@CartDaddyGolf]

Dude, Tons of parts available or these cars easily. Moss Motors, Victoria British, British parts northwest, Little British car co, Rimmer bros, heck even Rock auto has tons of parts available. and there is always ebay, offerup, facebook marketplace, craigslist etc for people selling used parts. I've gotten parts from most of these places and had parts in days. Some parts for sure are not easily available, but most are.

[@ningning57]

Golden job keep up the good work

[@kalleschwenzen2161]

Gold would be a sick Colour!

[@kirchnerfarm]

Keep plugging along brother. Like the video's!

GOLD💪🏽⏳🏁 keep up the good work man , love the vids‼️

[@tyrelirwin]

Love that GOLD motor!

[@bodd69]

From the UK, enjoying the build, great work. I'm just coming out the other side of building my MGB GT LE - Sebring project and I remember my heart sinking when I found all the rust and having to cut alot out! but almost every MGB has this kind of rust in almost exactly the same places. Mines about to get on the road check it out on @robbiemorris85 good luck mate.

[@xXIBON3ZIXx]

Some gold paint on that would be awesome!

[@markbrown3337]

The front and rear floor pans a cheap enough rather than messing around patching

[@bwilder4]

Check out Vice Grip Garage on what he used to paint over his patched spots on the Independence Chevelle floor.

[@darrenswails]

He could also use an old license plate to patch holes👍 would definitely be obvious that work was done there

[@slackwire_55]

These cars are now worth about the same as a brick of Gold. The handbrake adjuster needs to be slackened for the drum to fit properly as the shoes are self adjusting.

[@blasterwayne6]

Good work man, Old rust sucks. Looking fresh tho, Do I ever love this build ... hope u seen what i did there lol

[@dallaswheat17]

The MR2 build was pure gold btw

[@johnlundin3910]

Keep it up bro! Your doing great stuff. Remember slow progress is still progress. #gold

[@hawai4me2]

I hope you sprayed some rust inhibitor inside there before sealing up?

[@DaRealRebel1100]

"Gold" much luv man keep giving us awesome content 🧡

[@JJmotorsport1]

Gold your doing well mate keep it 👍🏻 im from England so if you need anything let me know

[@codyhenault4597]

Your content is "GOLD"

[@jetjazz05]

I put the fiberglass bondo over rust, took like 7 years to come back. Honestly if you're bondoing a car you're either silly and young or know you only want something to last a little while longer.

[@deanlewis3514]

It's an MG what do you expect if you think that's bad should see the ones in the UK good luck and keep up the good work

[@mackenziepm]

Its all part of a truly great British sports car ownership experience. A car to briefly put a smile on your face before remaining constantly in the garage, emptying your wallet, while slowly turning to dust. McLaren still pay homage to this traditional in their supercars now. So badly built you can get lost in their panel gaps.

[@MrDemonchild71]

G.O.L.D g.o.l.d it's gold

[@bryansantos6796]

Amazing Job !!!

[@paulh9815]

U didn't adjust the star wheel adjuster , it's probably extended to fit your worn brake pads

[@richardculbertson8027]

Caleb as always great content and I love that you're doing a British car maybe in the future you could do a classic mini and have them all GOLD lol only joking

[@RandomGuyDan]

Callum, it takes no time at all. AutoZone sells lots of parts for these cars (I have a '72 GT). You should be able to get anything you need within a few days at worst.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

When that car's finished, it'll be as precious as GOLD. By the way; when all the rust repair is finished, who are you going to get to paint it? HAHAHA ;)

[@justar6865]

Great vids

[@Rossisearle]

Very rusty but hopefully when it's done it will GOLD..

[@WHYasko]

Gold is cool!

[@carlosceoofredlinequickshift]

That was abbondoned from like the year before I was born thats crazy

[@fetlocks3]

new pistons springs and then adjustment from the top rear adjuster, i would dismantle rear adjuster, clean it and copper grease the thread. rebuild then adjust all new parts available from the club. uk owner. the rear shoes do not adjust automatically . need to be adjusted by owner. good luck.

[@dustinshaw740]

Video gold!

[@crimsonhonda9974]

So is the word gold a foreshadowing of what color u might be going with?

[@honda95pj2783]

Gold. How is your dodge truck?

Ah yes Alabama special the “no rust” but you show up and it’s all rusted and bondoed up with very little body actually left
