Due to being a tight arse, I have got hold of a complete front axle for my 88 as the old swivels were both corroded and shot and an axle was less than than a single swivel would have cost.
The new axle has got 11 inch brakes, my 88 only has a single output master cylinder non servo. Does that matter ?
Can I just hook it up and expect it to all work or do I need a dual output master cylinder with servo, or bolt the 10's on and flog the 11" back-plates,shoes and drum etc for about what I paid for the axle!

What year is your landy? Brake changes happened 1980. Brake servos were at some point an additional extra. See no reason why the basis circuit shouldn't work. To be honest I ran mine without the servo for years. It's just heavier on the pedal.

Nice cheap upgrade to brakes and you can fit a servo later if you want.

My late model 88 really stopped well with 11" drums up front. I used Mintex linings and was very pleased.

Cool,
will just bolt it on and see what happens then.
then just got to decide what to do with the old one.
