Re: Samurai LWB wheel cylinders and brake drums

Hi - thanks for your response, sorry to be slow to get back to you! I will certainly try Brakes International - thank you for the tip. Not sure what the setup is - I will check with BI and hopefully we can work it out.

Thanks again! Kind regards, Andrew.

Re: Samurai LWB wheel cylinders and brake drums

Thank you for this - I have tried factors in UK with no success so far. I have used one of the Indian companies for a new dipper/indicator unit, so it makes sense to try there for these parts too. Noted the alternative suggestion for the handbrake - yes, on the rear axel. Thank you for your help - m...

Re: Hello - Samurai bodywork and respray sought!

Hi, thanks for your responses. Yes, there is certainly a lot more unseen - I considered trying to do it myself, but I'm really looking for someone to take it all apart, do the necessary, and put it all back together again! I will keep looking, and try to stop the rot getting any worse in the meantime.

Re: Hello - Samurai bodywork and respray sought!

Hi, muddymesser - thanks for your answer. I guessed most would be DIYers on this forum - but maybe posting this will point to someone in the midlands area who'd be prepared to take this on. Rust mainly fronts of wheel arches, sills, all the usual places. And a lot of unseen too, all of which I'm kee...
