I love it when a plan comes together  Must admit that I was also under the misconception about the adjusting principles  Tis a true saying that one never stops learning. |

Not as glad as I am that it works. Second hand parts cost enough, so to have the idea fail would have made a dent in the budget that I really can't afford. Now that I know the idea is sound I don't mind paying out for the new parts required. Will be using the second hand back plates as they are about £120 +VAT each which is a lot to pay out if you are going to cut, drill and weld them. May also use the old drums, as they are well within their wear limits and have cleaned up OK.

Cheers guys. Yep, was hoping they wouldn't look out of place, as they are a lot bigger. Great thing about them being Ford based is that the internal parts are so cheap and easy to get hold of. There is also a choice of wheel cylinder bore sizes to chose from. Modified back plate. There is a little more work in this than it looks. The extra mounting holes are obvious, but there is also an extra shoe wear inspection slot added, the hand brake gaiter retaining plate has been ground off and the hand brake lever slot filled and welded up. |

Just what I said to Dave yesterday Kev -nice to think you've created something that'll make your own vehicle unique, but info that could prove very useful to a future BIVA builder.

The other backplate is now done and so is the brake drum. Still need to machine the other hub and I'm waiting for postie to deliver new cylinders, shoes and springs etc. When the new shoes are fitted, I will be able to finalise the minimum distance between the arms on the adjusters.

D'oh! Just noticed that the original wheel cylinders are 7/8" (22.2mm) and I thought they were 3/4" (19mm). The ones I have bought are 13/16" (20.6mm)  The 36 per cent increase in shoe width and more efficient design might outweigh the reduced piston force but after much searching I have found that the Escort Mk3 RS Turbo used 22.2mm bore cylinders in the same piston end design, so will get a pair of those. |

That's all I can see -the lining on the one on the far right extends further round the shoe than the others -& they're all the same. Should they be handed?
I can't find Wallie though.
