Back in the seventies, a lot of Ruby types that turned up had hydraulic brakes, usually fitted in the fifties/sixties. We used to strip them off (they were all seized and/or leaking) and throw them away in favour of standard brakes. Girling backplates normally fitted straight on, even to pre '36 axles that had been modified.
