My SII wont stop!

jat147 · Apr 20, 2006

We all know that drum brakes aren't up to stopping much, least of all when you're towing. I want to pull my speedboat behind my 1960 SII but would like to upgrade to discs at the front at least. Anyone know where I can get a fairly easy-to-do-yourself upgrade kit?
Cheers.

Hi jat147, one of the forum members mentioned a front disc brake upgrade for series motors. I'll have a look round and get back.

Think Rocky mountain do a kit, dont know how easy it would be to fit but would also set you back about £450 I believe!!! Bloody lot of money for an old series in my opinion but it depends on how desperate you are.

Bugger me, thats the info I went off to find !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Yeah it's bloody pricey chap.

put a RR axle on it.
cheap as chips.

yella · Apr 20, 2006

that should be "an RR" or "a rangerover" ormus, come on lad, sort yer grammar out

ormus · Apr 20, 2006

its you silly welsh sods with no fookin vowels.

yella · Apr 20, 2006

ffs ormus, its not the welsh language you are destroying its the english. the welsh language is a proper language, not like yer mishmash of an english selection of words

jat147 · Apr 21, 2006

thanks for the info, do you mean the rr axle complete with brakes attached would fit in the sII?

sorry to interupt the language debate, carry on as you were.

I'm half welsh/english so I couldn't comment

yella · Apr 21, 2006

yes mate, fit a complete rr axle with new u bolts and bingo, you now have disc brakes

as fer the language debate, i think i have already won seen as ormus is from manchester where they talk of lickle bockles

Rocky Mountain products here in Canda have a slick conversion kit I am told.. look on Wise Owls website, they are the main supplier... www.wiseowlparts.com . Send Mark an email and he will sort you out...

Spelling
wrong word used where none is required

And I'm a bloody Jock who failed O Grade English

lickle bockles?
my youngest brother speaks like that!
i spent too many yrs in the south east, and abroad, to speak like noel gallagher.

Ashoofack · Apr 26, 2006

lickle bockles?

You see I thought that that was just standard 'Yella talk' whereas the other two words were just honest errors

ormus · Apr 26, 2006

in welsh its, lckl bckls.

its no wonder they all fck shp.

Gareth Coe · Apr 26, 2006

GRUNT · Apr 26, 2006

Well maintained and adjusted drum brakes dont give as lot of trouble . Would Upgrade to Series 111 Master cylinder with Serve from a scrapyard . Easier and cheaper than fitting a complete axle

bonnybaggot · Apr 26, 2006

message should read---- master cylinder and Servo unit-- sorry about spelling I seem to be getting like everyone else around here

Gareth Coe · Apr 27, 2006
