1.6 Drum Problem

[Sinbad 16]

I have a base model rear beam on my 1.6 gti and swapped the gti drums onto the base model hubs.

After searching on here it says the drum nut should be 215nm tight.If i go anything tighter than hand tight the drum will stop turning?

Have i missed something off??

Or would i have to keep the base model drums and live with the narrower track?

Have you swapped just the drum, or the backplate and shoes as well??

Just the drum Tom,i asked on here and got told to swap the torsion bars and the drum as the drums are wider.

Should i have swapped the lot?
