Yes the early cars had a different set up, where a banjo screws down the centre of the wheel cylinder. One thing I think I've worked out is that although my brake is on the right, I think I need to order LH wheel cylinders, as the brake plate is stationary on the outside of the wheel, i.e. it will l...

I'll do some calcs to work out the master cylinder size I need. Should be able to benchmark some other bikes for piston vs. calliper sizes. With regards to marking the plate up, I guess I'm pretty lucky as I work for an engineering company so the plan is to build the shoes on to the cylinders and ge...

And a pic of the brake plate...[frame][/frame]

Yes you're right, I mean shoes! First vehicle I've had with drums so I have to get used to using the right terms!! Although you are right that the brake should be adequate, my last bike was a 2011 Speed Triple, with twin 320mm Brembo radial callipers, so what ever I have on this will feel pretty dir...

David, Thanks very much for that, the pictures are a big help. So if the later system can be used on both 7" and 8" shoes, does that mean that the two systems have the same distance across the wheel cylinder between the two mount points? I.e. between the moving face on the piston and the b...

Hey everybody, I'm hoping I've found an open minded forum who might be able to help me out with a project I am working on. It's not strictly Morris related... I have a 71 Triumph Bonneville T120R that runs a conical hub with a 8" TLS drum brake. The problem with the conical hub is that due to t...
