Hello all,
I need to overhaul the brake cylinders, but the brakedrum does not seem to be a separate part?
Does everything have to come off – castlenut, roller bearing, etc?
If so, what would be a suitable torque for the castlenut upon refitting?
Thanks!

Do not think my roller covering (piece of red rubber hose) is original. Anyhow, a piece of (black??) rubber tube should do it. The counter piece on the door underside, slightly wedge shaped and chromed, is most probably original.
Sorry for the picture quality!
Kind regards,

Talk to them before ordering. They are helpful and dedicated peopl...

Hi all ! What would be the "correct" 1930's choice for the hood ? Double layer fabric (with rubber in between), or just single layer material ? And what would you choose for the tonneau - fabric or fake leather (PVC) ? Also, was there an original fabric colour "code" ? The car is...
