Should be the same on the drum hub, needs to come to bits and put back together again ..properly...

I wouldn't be riding that again till you've fixed it.

No. checked loads of drum lambrettas at todays rideout. all stick out whereas original disc ones sit flush.
im wondering if its the brake shoes maybe too wide. ??

Someone mentioned the dampers but cant see how they would cause it .

My back plate sticks out the same as yours so dont think that is wrong. If the noise only happens turning one way i'd be looking at the bearings, or fork link buffers. Unless the speedo drive is having some kind of issue but i guess that would give the noise all the time

It's as good as any 8-)
