Re: Identity of brakes

Thanks Dave and Colin,

It looks like as this car is a Bitsa I need to do some fettling either moving the drum in or packing the backing plate out, and thanks for the tip on the A30/A35 I will check that out.

This car is providing endless hours of entertainment and I have only driven it once around the shed!

Cheers

Re: Identity of brakes

I'd have to agree with Dave. The adjusters are snail cams. Unless export A35s used different wheel cylinders (doubtful) they are from an early Morris minor or similar. the A35 front wheel cylinders have a castellated wheel on top and work like the Austin 7 jack.

Kind regards

This photo found on the web shows the set up and components fitted to 1948 to 1952 Series MM Morris Minor Sidevalve engined cars and early Series II Morris Minor OHV cars up to around 1954.
