Hello all, I have finally found the cause of my metal to metal screech when the brakes are applied. The front offside brake is the culprit. To be more exact the brake shoe that is nearest to the front of the car. When the brakes are applied as well as moving outwards towards the inside of the drum it also twists towards the hub and catches the fixings for the wheel studs thus the awful sound. The wheel has new shoes and linings together with a new brake cam and bush. The hub bearings are good with no signs of wear or play in them.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem.

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