Hey guys, so I got my wheels all a part and was going to start cleaning/blasting them and noticed a few things. There is a piece of the inner drum insert that broke off when I was checking them over, I noticed a little crack and was able to break off a big piece of the wall. It's only a lip and the rest of the insert is intact and doesn't look like to have been damaged by heat or over use. I am hoping that lip could be smoothed up and that the drum pads don't really run on that part considering its so thin and not reinforced? I have attached a photo below of the broken off lip. Also I noticed when I roll the rim or spin it infront of me there seems to be some dust or little sand/metal particles inside the hub. I guess there is a cavity between the iron insert and the aluminum hub housing? the link below is to video of me rolling the rim, its not very noticeable so turn up your speakers!

I am really hoping this hub can be salvaged, as where I live, sourcing a hub is out of the question, then I'd be looking at ebay from the US...... expensive.
