Re: hydraulic brakes mystery problem

Rob Thomas
2 different size snails available. Small ones (x2) for the front Morris brakes and a large one for the back, IIRC. I may have this 'backwards'.
Might this be the issue?
Yep mine ok with 2 small on fronts and one large on rears.

Re: hydraulic brakes mystery problem

Jeff thanks for picture and info.

Would you measure your pivot block to compare with mine.
My back plates are the modified Morris Minor to fit Austin Girling axles. They have the two little brackets welded on to take the "beehive" springs that hold the shoes against the back plates.

There are different length shoe pull off springs advertised for each of the two different springs on the back
mine are 4" between hooked bits (where they would rest on the shoe) for the spring with two short coils and 3" for the single coils.
