The drum brake works fine if it's kept serviceable and the rear seal doesn't leak
I'd hate to bend the disc off-road
My transmission brake parts are real original 1963 and now worn out and I have problems with oil seals from time to time. I'm also fed up with the palava changing the shoes when I get the oil on them; the disc is high up and I've never had any damage to that area at all. Had the vehicle in 1965 when I got married, so know the history fairly well and as I'm now in my 80's anything that makes life a little easier is useful.The drum brake works fine if it's kept serviceable and the rear seal doesn't leak

There can't be that many people who can say they've owned the same series 2 from almost new!My transmission brake parts are real original 1963 and now worn out and I have problems with oil seals from time to time.

Bend the disc off road? not sure how you'd manage that unless you'd already bent the chassis up like a banana. In which case the handbrake is likely the least of your worries.The drum brake works fine if it's kept serviceable and the rear seal doesn't leak

I have the X brake disc hand brake on mine and its great and no it doesn't effect the hystoric status as you are upgrading you hand brake, i've also recently fitted disc brakes all round and still kept the hystoric status![]()
