Well, as you know, they came with Girling units. I had one in my BT7 MkII, rare
for those models. Anyhow, it was disconnected when I bought the car so I had to
rebuild it with a kit. That lasted about 10 years then one of the "new" parts
proved to be soluble in brake fluid and disintegrated. That nearly ended in
tears. Another kit, from a hopefully more reliable source, but I never trusted
it. So.......it was my feeling that, if I couldn't fix a Girling, then any
second hand Girling out there would be unreliable. I elected to replace it
before it let me down again.
Seems that the two most usual substitutes are Lockheed or PBR, the latter being
Australian. I'd heard much better reports for the PBR so I looked out for one
of them. They are very rare, if sold at all, in the UK. Anyhow, someone
imported a BJ8 back here from the US and found a spare new PBR in the boot
(trunk!). I bought that for a song and fitted it. Easy fit with the supplied
brackets. Works well. I like it. Their model code, for my BT7 at least, is
VH40. I checked that with PBR.
