Got all of the pieces here for an 8-inch hydraulic, along with a period
magazine article on the conversion. I also have a set of 12-inch drums and
alloy cable-brake backplates to get rid of now that I am trying to convert
to big hydraulics. I've got the back sorted with a Healey axle but have had
limited success with Minor 1000 fronts, Imp fronts and Wolseley 1500 fronts.
I have tried to get in touch with someone called J Seburn near Luton who
offered to swap my 12s for a set of 10 hydraulics. Anyone know him? I
think he raced a Hornet Special. Lost his phone number to a virus.
Anyhow, standard 8-inch drums and 2 sets of Morris 8 (pre series E/1939)
backplates. Dave Parish in Hayes, Middlesex can help here. Cylinders are
about #40uk each and the master is about #70uk unless you go with something
later like Morris 1000. Can supply pictures and a copy of the article for
anyone interested. Article is for a P-type.
