What you will find here: Intended to display minor modifications to my Westfield SEi, this blog now witnesses the two year rebuild (and more) after a major crash in October 2011. Have fun and feel free to add a comment at the end of any post.

Rear brakes (MOT fail)

The ACL is the luxembourgish (national) automobile club. Some years ago, they started to offer MOT for young- and oldtimers. This year was a first for me to try this service out. Unfortunately, my car failed the brakes test due to a rotten rear wheel cylinder. When I disassembled it, I found a completely blocked cylinder at the rear left. I made my shopping list:
rear wheel cylinder - Hitec H27270 (19mm)
rear brake shoes - TRW GS6125 (38x203mm)
shoe fitting kit (springs) - Hitec H7514
The cylinder is measured inwards and not at the stub protruding, the shoes measurements are simply measured width per length of the brake pad glued to its carrier. The next post will be about the reassembly.
Cheers.
