:bluewave: Happy to be able to help, they've been in my garage for a few years and I've tried to sell them a couple of times but no-one was interested. I thought I'd hold on to them until someone was interested! :D

It does indeed seem to be a 1300 one as the bore is smaller than the tailpipe I have for an 1850.

Next time we are in Notts I'll let you know.

had a nice run to leicester area yesterday to pick up a motorbike(brothers) when i got back home i found drivers side rear brake binding sometimes when handbrake released,so today i took it off to see what was going on,found out that the old pad had come away from the metal piece,i see rust forming between the brake and metal,must admit they have been one the car since i bought of here,all i did then was rub down with coarse paper.
so good clean up of internals(regrease adjuster and clean wheel cylinder) and new shoes,serviced the handbrake cable as they are still good and clean,while the wheels where off,dinitrol`d the wheel arches aswel.....just front end now to clean,service and dinitrol
according to the calculator i got 38mpg on steady`ish 55mph,,,not bad at all :shock:
