npanne Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Does anyone happen to have a picture handy of the back of the read brake back plate - primarily to see how the rigid brake pipe routes from the bracket (where it joins the flexi-hose) to the cylinder?

npanne Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 While I'm here - does anyone happen to know a source for the rear brake cylinders for the late mk III GT6 - the ones with the adjuster in the cylinder? Are these common to the 1500 saloon rear brakes? I've found someone selling these (see pic) - they look the same, and they are the same bore, but can't find any reference to cross-compatibility.

GT6 M Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Neil, if fitt,n thee,s, then a suggestion to drill some holes in either drum or back plate.I did it on the drum fronts, about 3/4 inch, to get some screwdrivers inI had em on one i had, and ye cannae slacken the brakes off to get the drums offIF the drums have got a groove worn into em where linings sit.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
