Hi All,
I am now starting to build the big brother to my son's miniature MG C-type out of a 1947 TC chassis. Has anyone done the twin leading shoe brake conversion with MGA front drum brakes?
Thanks
David

David...
The only twin leading shoe brake conversion I'm aware of is the one documented here: http://www.mg-tabc.org/library/new_brakes.htm
The one thing that stands out is the need for 9" front drum brakes - I don't think the MGA has those.

I wrote an article for "Totally T Type 2" in April 2014 about converting the TC to Twin Leading Shoes. I imagine the MGA back plates are similar to the TD in which case you could not use them as the offset is opposite to the TC.
