Title: Twin leading brake shoes for 2 litre saloon
Post by: GSouthee on June 08, 2020, 17:40:47

Hi I have a box of various brake shoes but am trying to identify what ones are for the twin  leading shoe drums for the 1949 onward car.

To that end has anyone got a picture of this setup, either just the shoes or the shoes in situ on the back plate, so that I may be able to identify a set from my box.

Cheers Guys in advance.

Cheers again Robin you have come up trumps and now found 4 brake shoes to suit front drums/back plates.

I am thinking of getting the cylinders sleeved/lined in stainless if and once i can get the pistons out, been soaking in wd4o for 2 weeks and joy yet.

Any member had cylinders lined/sleeved? problems?

Also investigating a later cylinder but they have different fitting to back plate, may have to go that way and modify the back plate to take them.

Cheers
