11 inch brakes

<< < (2/3) > >>

--- Quote from: "Stanton Boy" ---I think you may have over looked one small point and that is the 11" front brakes are twin leading shoe, which means that the two pistons push out the shoes in the same direction, where as the 10" brakes a single leading shoe which means that the shoes push out in opposite directions.  So my point is that how would you stop the vehicle when you are reversing if you fitted 11" brakes all round.
--- End quote ---



push very hard on the pedal!

and cross fingers!

Paul Woodward:
The LWB's have 11" brakes front and rear. Twin leading shoe on the front, single leading shoe on the rear.
Yes they don't work as well going backwards but you don't go 60 mph in reverse..........do you??
I had them on my SWB and didn't have any balance probs.

spy:
I thought the very last swb series 3 had 11" all round.  I cant be sure but I think my 1982 had 11's all round?

Cheers,

Mike

ian_s:
i always thought it was 11" on the front 10" on the rear for the last of the series 3s

davidlandy:
also need to make sure that the front to rear brake bias isnt screwed up - u might need to retain the original size cylinders
