I have had my newly rebuilt diff, brake system, for the 59 bugeye sitting in
the floor for a few months, so I decided to put the drums on. There appeared
to be an abnormal large gap between the drum and the area on the back plate
at the slave cylinder. I put an indicator on the end of the axle, and it's
within .002. The drum seems to be pretty close also. My assumption is the
back plate is bent in the area of the slave (bent toward the hogs head. Is
this an area for concern?
