Hi,
Some of you may have seen my post on the general section introducing my project. In a nutshell its prob 1932 SS cars chassis and front axle,maybe a Standard 10 sidevalve lump with twin SU's a of yet unidentified rear axle. The point of this post is to hopefully id the brakes so I can service the slave cylinders and find out what lining/shoes I need in the future. I have included some pictures.










Many thanks in advance Andy

Why not send the slave cylinders for overhaul and stainless steel lining by Past Parts and just have the existing shoes relined.

As Ashley says, you can get any brake shoe re-lined so that's not an issue. Likewise re-sleeving the cylinders, or measuring the bores (if they're good enough) and ordering seals to fit, should see the cylinders sorted out.

Hi Andy,

I don't think they are Girling or Lockheed.

Like Ashley and Rick I was just going to suggest that you get them relined.

Sorry for any confusion I fully intend to have them relined serviced etc,but thought the process would be easier if I knew the make. I can service the cylinders myself if I could buy the kit I also intend to replace the brake lines and master cylinder myself as well.
thanks for the replies I shall some time in the future check the rest for any sort of marks. Very Happy

I have found out these brakes are from the Wolseley Hornet first used in 1932. The salve cylinder is a 1 inch bore,so anyone know where to get spares from?
