After looking at my trusty haynes manual I discovered that I dont seem to have the adjustment bolt on the drum plate, and my hubs feel pretty tight.
What should I do?
Cheers

Take the drum off and wind the auto adjuster off with a screwdriver a small amount.
Adjuster:
Poke it round with a screwdriver a few notches until its where it needs to be (wind off a few clicks to loosen):
Great photos! Thanks a million bud
I think the adjustment bolt was only on the very early novas.
Y reg ish. Mines a B and has the self adjusters like photos.
make sure you take the time to get the wheel bearing tightness correct when refitting the drum.
Sorry to but in.... But how tight should the nut be for the hub on outside of drum.....??? And also should there be a split pin through it....???
Yes there's a split pin, I believe Haynes says to nip it up to a given torque, then back it off until you can just move the washer underneath the nut.
^ general rule for all taper bearings or you'll kill them
look in chapter 13. the later production mods should be in there
