    There is a rare big pad Type 16 calipers as fitted to the 2.8 Granada. Roughly twice the pad area. Almost unobtanium now as Granadas were the car of choice for banger racers.

    1/4" spacers under the 1.5" drums not an option?

    Can you fit the later wider GT6 drums of the back of a Vitesse?

    Thank you. I assume it's a split circuit Type rather than dual circuit? I've been minded to fit a servo as I'm getting on a bit now.

    Any ideas what this is? IT was on a Herald I saw on one of the classic car sale sites.

    I too use NOS asbestos brakes. None of the modern materials is as good. The 'Holy Grail' of the brake industry after so many years remains to find a material as all round ideal as a braking medium. If you are worried about the infinitesimal risk from the dust, when you change or adjust them, wear a paper mask and just wash down the shoes and mechanisms into a basin with brake cleaner. The issue as brake shops was mechanics blowing off the dust day in, day out with airlines filling the shop with a persistent fog of brake dust.
