Still on my to-do list to fit at the mo, life has been getting in the way on my days off and the new shoes are still sat in their box:oops: Weather isn't helping my enthusiasm either....
Mine must be nearing renewal and also fancy a bash at some 11 inch Borg and becks. I spoze I should try scraping the Vaseline off the old ones first but at least they don’t bind. :D
 
Only done a few miles and there's already an improvement.

These are the one I took off

And these are the new ones. Note the rusty slave cylinder. Britpart less than 10 months old, so that'll be getting replaced with a girling one.
I've managed to stamp on the brakes and lock the fronts up so hopefully once they are bedded in and readjusted they should be OK.

Thanks all who contributed ;)

Unusual for Britpart cylinder to be steel .
 
I had all steel till one of them seized and the only one I could get local was an ally Britpart one.
I hadn’t daubed enough pink grease under the dust cap and the salt must have got in.

I’d check your engine oil. If it’s not running as far as the wheels your probably out of it.
