About 6 or 7 years ago I noticed that my rear brake compensator thingy was missing so I obtained a replacement one. This post has reminded me about it. I expect I should get around to actually fitting it on the van one day.

pkrboo did you split yours for a reason , leaking or visibly gungy inside? Yes it was leaking, MOT picked it up but I'm not sure it really was leaking No gunge. If yours wasn't leaking and had clean fluid in it. I would stick it back on as is

Thicker where the wheel studs go through? I think that makes it a T25 drum. Your studs will now be too short. Been there arguing with Heritage who eventually clicked that T2 drums are thinner and found some when I said I'd keep the drums if they sent me a free set of longer studs. The ones they sent were oval making the pedal pulse so they went back as well. When it came to my bus I kept the worn drums to avoid the bloody circus. You can replace your compensator doodah with a looped flexi while you restore it. The two I've had apart were gummed up. T2D would add it to their massive collection of parts gained from customers buses and leave you with a flexi permanently, or they did to one of my mates anyway. Not recommended, it's an expensive part and isn't there just for the hell of it. When mine was gummed up and one rear locked in the rain I was close to broad siding an oncoming fire engine. The other rear was contaminated with leaking brake fluid. T'was very scary, I had to stop for several ciggies before carrying on slowly home. Since then, every now and again I find a straight quiet road in the rain and try them. drums that came off were around 3mm thick around the hub. ones I fitter were just over 7 mm. doesn't sound a lot does it! also single bolt rather than the two locating bolts (the 7mm ones)

With stock wheels and studs you loose 1/3 of the thread. If you have alloys and funky capped nuts at least you won't see it and worry your wheels will fly off. You need all the thread to get the torque without risking stripping them. I think it's arse that suppliers don't know what they're selling. Your originals at 2-3mm are correct.

If you have funky wheels and nuts you could undo one old/new and count the turns to compare. I've come across alloy wheels clinging on too short studs with the right drums never mind thick ones (fitted by my friends...T2D).
