Thread: Series 1 Brake Drums - same as 2/2A etc?

As far as I know they are the same as Series 2/2a, but not S3 or very late 2a, which have larger diameter studs. Note you need to get the right size 10" or 12", and not the six cylinder ones.

I think you are right - but be aware some may have been updated!

88"s have 10 inch drum single-leading shoe (single wheel cylinder at the top) brakes all round.

109's (after 1955) have 11 inch twin leading shoe (two cylinders per wheel, top and bottom) drums at the front (four-cylinder cars are 2.5 inch wide, sixes - 1967 on - are 3 inch) and all rears are 11 inch x 2.5inch single leading shoe drums.

As mentioned earlier, drums received larger wheel studs very late in S2A production, and sometime in Series 3 ended up with only on retaining screw.

Everything is interchangeable, though.

69 2A 88" pet4 (still in disguise), 68 2B FC pet6 (still resting quietly), plus 16 other parts/project cars (1xS2, 7xS2As, 8xS3).

So mines a 107", '56.
Havent measured them yet, but good to know they should be the same.

Pretty sure 107 has 11" drums same as 109
