Our J2 was converted to hydraulics in the fifties, I believe after the then
owner rear-ended a milk truck!
It was actually a kit supplied by a company in the West Country (of
England). Parts as follows:
Master cylinder, metal pipes and hoses Morris Minor 1000
Wheel cylinders, backplates and shoes Hillman Minx (1956 I think)
This setup gives 2LS at the front, and leading/trailing at the rear. Braking
is excellent, and since I put silicon fluid in (in about 1989) I've never
laid a finger on the system.
I can probably give you Girlock numbers for the cylinders. You'd be able to
substitute locally available hoses as they have UNF ends.
