New Brake Drums - JohnD - 07-11-2022
I understand that new brake drums have been avalible for a number of years from a few sources, i assumed that they were all made in the same place?
Anyway, i see these listed on Ebay stating that they are of chinease origin, has anyone used them yet?

£200 but that's for a pair. Jamie's price is £156 for one.

The ad says "Girling Type" but also says 1934 - 1936 which was the period of Austin designed brakes
Semi-Girling was used from mid 1936 to 1938
So what type are they ?

Made using “modern steel”?
Hmm. I’m hoping that’s the fault of the person writing the EBay listing, not the foundry

Jamie's price is for a pair, Bruce. It's £156 + VAT making £187.20 inc VAT. If you look at the description on his web site you'll see it includes 'Sold as a pair' and also describes exactly what type they are.

Sorry, I didn't spot that. Thanks Steve.

The picture on the web site shows Girling type drums.
RE: New Brake Drums - Frank Stoll - 07-11-2022
Sorry for the rather silly question,
but are the brake drums offered by the Austin Seven Workshop suitable for an RP 1934 or are they for the Ruby? If not, is there any chance for new brake drums for the RP.
Kind regards
Frank
