Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy both front and rear sets of brakes for my Austin 7 Ulster.
Thank you all.

Ben

Are you talking of original type or planning to upgrade? We need to know which type you want. I can probably help with the original type (1" wide shoes and corresponding drums)

Thank you Robert for your answer!
So I'm not looking to upgrade, just a regular set of shoes and drums.
Note that my brakes work with oil preasure (not sure it matters at all  Smile  ).

Do you think you can help?

Many thanks!
Ben

I'm pretty sure I can, but it will be late tomorrow before I check. Please give me an email address by private message, and I'll send a picture of what I have.

Come to think of it if you have hydraulic brakes you probably have late type backplates with 1.25" wide shoes and corresponding drums. Can you post a picture of the set-up inside one of your brakes and the present type of drum?
