MG TD TF 1500 - Rear brake/wheel problem

I just replaced the brakes on my 51 mg td. All went well until installing the drum on the left rear wheel. The wheel will rotate ok until I tighten the retaining nut. It will then lock up. I can't find anything wrong with the brake installation and it didn't do that with the old brakes. Any thoughts??

Sounds like the linings may be just a bit to wide and are binding when you tighten the drum. If you still have the old ones, I would check the width of the lining.
