4x4". 4x 100 might seem to fit, but it doesn't

The 100mm pitch wheels DO NOT fit. Don't even try it!! There was a story on here a few weeks (months ?) ago of someone who tried this - and kept losing the wheels. Very very dangerous.
If you want excellent inexpensive front brakes - go the Wolseley 1500 9" drum route - this retains the 4" pitch and saves all manner of cost and trouble. And after a very hard run uphill and down dale in the Borders yesterday - i can again confirm that these WORK - and without the slightest suggestion of fade!

Brakes should be discussed at least every 200 posts :wink:

probably... But I'd want to fit the right wheels before even attempting to brake!

dnac is looking to upgrade his brakes/rear axle - from other threads. So this thread relates directly.
