I have the back brake hub to bits and find the cush drive rubbers are pretty hard and the drive "quadrants" are a pretty slack fit.
In similar systems I've seen before the drive quadrants should be a snug fit to the point of being difficult to get in.
Should I replace the rubbers?
Should the quadrants have thin rubber bits stuck on or has someone added these to take up the slack?
Thanks.

The metal quadrants should be very tight in the rubber segments, if the rubber is not perished, I normally shim them equally with some plastic model making sheet, or plastic packaging, if the cush arrgt is rotationally slack, there will be more wear on the wheel hub spigot, which will eventually knacker the wheel...The thin rubber sheets, sounds like its been shimmed a bit already...
