Wanted to update everyone on the drum. After numerous "that won't work" and side eye looks the drum is fixed! We used a buddies old bubble balancer and simply cut a piece of steel to weight it properly. I then used silicon bronze TIG rod and TIG brazed the weight on. Was super simple. We slapped it back on the truck and took it for a ride. It was so smooth Dad and I decided to do a 30 mile loop to just enjoy it for a few minutes. I can't say how great it is to have this thing finally riding smoothly.
