One of the first projects I need to start ASAP is to get the brakes working on my newly acquired Austin A-35 Van. Problem supposedly is result of shot hydraulic cylinders on front wheels. Seller sent me the disc brake hardware..so my question is twofold:
1) I had originally planned on buying rebuild kits from UK and just restore the original hydraulics (everything front/back and master cylinder)...I'm more comfortable with this setup but just the rebuild kits (due to rarity) are very costly if you can even find them (there is a complete rebuild package deal on UK ebay right now that I would try to Win) or:
2) Do I go ahead and upgrade it to the front disc's...(better stopping power but not original) and if I do.. does anyone know of a link or a BCF thread that provides me info on the "how to"..?.
THANKS for any insights and assistance.........
