Refurbishing the brakes

We took a trip up the A14 to Bury St Edmunds today to see our friends at Past Partsย as we look to see about getting our 1971 Bedford’s Master Cylinder, Servo and Brake Cylinders overhauled.

As we expected, it doesn’t seem to be a problem for the guys down at Past Parts, it’s what they do!

Past Partsย specialiseย in the supply and re-manufacture of braking and clutch parts for a range of older vehicles including older and classic cars, classic motorcycles, commercial and agricultural vehicles, and industrial plantย machinery. They recreate moving history withย useย of their ownย high qualityย sleeving technology, which successfully re-manufactures all types of hydraulic brake and sleeve cylinders up to 2-1/2″ bore, as well as brake servos and brake calipers.

 

Engine work on our 1935 Railton

The parts have now arrived in from Mike at the Railton Owner’s Clubย so Pete has gotten straight on to the task of refitting the head gasket and machined head.

The car is also in for a full service so a new service kit was also provided.
