Hydraulic brake conversion backplate

[Dennis Nicholas]

Some photos of current state

Trial assembly.  It can be seen that the larger spring on the left may just be able to go behind shoes and fit inbetween raised flange side and the pivot block. But the right double ended would not go behind shoes.
attachment=3641

This shows how much the top shoe is pulled out from the back plate even with the behive spring attached.  The bottom shoe not so bad.
   

close up shows that if the side of the raised mounting flange was moved towards centre (there is about 3mm space between axle mounting flange edge and side wall of the raised back plate flange) The double ended spring might be able to fit behind shoes though it would probably just touch side wall.
   

Close up of larger spring shows that, again, with flange side moved in towards centre by about 3mm the spring would sit between shoes and back-plate.
   

must give up on more pictures as it seems to take an age to get a photo attachment attached. (around 20 mins per photo!!)

Still not sure the top shoe is the right way round.
As it is all beautifully painted up and mounted I do not really want to go hacking the back-plate around only to fail to achieve the goal of both springs between shoes and backplate.

Dennis the brake shoe hold down kit is for a Ford Anglia 105E its a long time since I fitted the Hydraulic brake set the pins are 40mm from under the head to the end
       of the pin. There are sets of 4 on ebay but you need to check the pin length as I think the 1200 pins were longer than the 997 model, and use Silicone brake fluid
       as the brake w/cyls are prone to rusting my fluid has been in for 10yrs with no problems.

                                                                                                                                             Terry.

Thanks Terry...I will search Anglia brake shoes......probably 1200 were wider than the possible 1.25 inch of the 997.
