Perhaps loosening and retighten to correct torque would do it. .... now if only i hada torque wrench that did 90lbs id be larfing! I have, but if it's bending there must be a gap that shouldn't be there. If the wheel/drum was the correct fit you could tighten the bolts until the threads stripped without bending the drum. Where's baysearcher Doug when you need him? He bent his like this due to his funky wheel fitment and now has new drums and spacers. No more bent drums. |

Just a thought but there is only one locating hole on the new drums for the two 7mm bolts so only used one. I cant reall whetehr i cheched the bore of the centre. Possibly the drums dont fit properly over the hub abd are running askew! Its not horrendously bad tbh but does need looking at.

If you have alloy wheels don’t fit the 7mm bolt; it will prevent the wheel from seating properly.

Two originally but none for the last 8 years - they don’t do anything once the wheel is on and my alloys (5-spoke EMPI copies) definitely fouled the bolts. |

My JK drums went oval and were a git to adjust.
So I cleaned the lip off the old drums I had kept according to the principle that unless it comes off as a pile of rust you keep OG parts. And put them back for tens of thousands of miles of happy motoring.

My EMPI clones fit nicely over the 7 mm bolts .. The 7mm bolts can be borrowed on a Bank Holiday to fit a 215mm clutch to get it running... |
