As I mentioned in your other thread, one of my TC-399s has the same issue of the belt contacting the brake in Rewind (although maybe slighly less contact than yours, so in my case not so noisy). The TC-399 mechanisms look pretty identical to the TC-366 in this area.

Very quickly comparing my problem 399 to another of my 399s which have reasonable clearance from the belt, I could not easily determine what the difference is that results in the belt contacting the brake in one of them.

I need to find some time to have a longer/closer look to see what might explain it.
