Hello all,   I have a 1935 Mk1 Ruby.  On examining the rear brakes I found that the bottom pin (one nearest the ground)in which the brake shoes go in is quite loose in the back plate. So loose that when the brake drum is off  it can be moved in and out of its mounting hole with the slightest of finger pressure although there is no sideways or up or down movement.  There is no fixing to hold it in place.  I don’t think it should be loose on the mounting hole. Well at least not to the extent it is.  Can anyone confirm how tight this brake shoe pin should be.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
