Thanks guys. Are there replacement brake shoes available? I can always have mine relined here in the US, so that is an option also. Have ordered some parts from Moss Motors (for an early AH 100) to see if they are indeed the same parts. They look like it from the diagrams.
Peter Received a DVD through the post from MIKE MANSERGH reference:- GIRLING SERVICE MANUAL 1946 onward. Scrolling through numerous pages I note the following:
1953 - 1958 ACE & ACECA. Front Brake Shoes 11" x 1 3/4" HLSS ( Section 2 page 51 ) Rear Brake Shoes 11" x 1 3/4" HW ( Section 2 page 43) OTHER CARS Using same FRONT BRAKE SHOES:- Austin Healey "100" BN1 (1953-1956) (up to chassis 223046)
Austin Healey "100" BN2 (1953-1956) (up to Chassis 228047)
Austin A.70 Hereford (1951-1954).
Austin A.70 & A.50 (1949 - 1951).
Rover "75" (1950).
Daimler DJ250 & DJ251 Conquest Saloon (1953 -1956).
OTHER CARS using same REAR BRAKE SHOES:- Austin Healey "100" BN1 (up to Chassis 221535)
Austin A.70 Hereford (1951-1954)
Hopefully the above helps in securing spare sets of Brake shoes to keep our AC Ace & Aceca on the road...[
