Rear Axle rebuild. Recommendations required

[Dennis Nicholas]

Hello All,
I am looking for someone to rebuild an axle assembly for me, using modern rubber seals, not felt ones.
Diff is good, bearings good but to also be replaced during rebuild.
The car has unconventional amounts of power and this has caused the oil to spew into the brakes past the seals.
Who can help me please with recommendations on specialists or enthusiasts able to rebuild for me close to my location.
I live in South Wiltshire, and can deliver it no problem.

Another want is a supplier of a full set of girling hydraulic shoes and slave cylinders, for the front and back. I already have back plates. I belive ther early Morris 1000 type but I'm not sure on part numbers.
My existing shoes are a bit slippery now they are soaked in ep90.


I Know there is a vast library of knowledge in this forum, all help greatly received.
Thanks for reading

Brakes - are you sure they are GIRLING?  The most usual conversion was using the Lockheed as on the Moris minors.  However there was one man in the distant past that used Girling and that company even sent an engineer to fit and set up everything.
 Look at ESM www.morrisminorspares.com/ and you will see what they look like and see the different bore sizes for the years.....interchangeable so ensure same size all round.  Some are no longer available and instead the different bore size is substituted.  The shoes are also Morris Minor and vary in width depending on which drums you have.  The shoe pull off springs fit on the outside of the shoes rather than between shoes and backplates as they do on the MM because there is no room for them on inside on the Austin with the modified backplate.  This means you need a good way of holding shoes in so linings parallel with drum.......so you see you need someone that realy knows what they are doing and who will research if there is a query.
I don't know if Tony Blight our N Devon A7 man at Blights Garage in Bideford would take on the job??
Mike Davies of the Cornwall A7 club has an Austin Works Jig for setting up crown/pinion.
Which back axle do you have?....Do you know of the Archives on this site that have many of the Austin spares catalogues which can be printed off and may be of a help to whoever does the job?
