I seek info on ORIGINAL Brake info :- 1) What was the ORIGINAL diameter of the inside of the braked drums 2) What was the thickness of the lining On an non original issue, some people say to swap the original wheel cylinders with ones from a LandRover. Can you tell me the part number or other detail to obtain the correct one. Thanks Pip Bucknell AUSTRALIA

[quote]hi Pip - do you work in English or that dastardly foreign metric system down there? We have to use both, but will give you inches. The diameter was originally [b]9"[/b], the drums I measured were 9.1', due to wear (they were not machined) and the wall thickness in the lining region was down to [b]0.112"[/b] (help!). I have a set of "Tenoid" linings in their original box, which must be about as original as you can get, and they average out at [b]0.1944"[/b] thick (3/16" is 0.1875") There must be more different types of cylinders fitted to Land Rovers than you can shake a stick at, but original pattern cylinders are readily available, even in bronze! oc[b]T[/b]agonally TCRoger in Glorious Devon, Olde England.
