Colin Fairhurst Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) I have just sent a set of 'New Old Stock' (1960s) 9" rear brake shoes for the Lockheed system to a TRR Forum Reg. User in the Netherlands. When I was packaging them I noticed a label on the box stating various vehicles that they were suitable for as follows:- Commer 15 cwt F/C range 1960 on Triumph TR2 1953/55 (up to TS 5442 March) Hillman Minx 1959/63 F&R Minx 1600 Mk V 1963/65 Rear Super Minx Mk 1 1961/62 Front & rear Super Minx Mk11 & 111 Oct 1962/65 Rear Humber Hawk 1948/May 1954 Front and Rear Sceptre 1963/65 Rear Saab 93, 95, 96 1958/Mid 64 Front Singer, Hunter, Gazelle, Vogue 1954/63 Front and rear Gazelle & Vogue 63/65 Rear Sunbeam Rapier Mk1 1955/58 58/65 Rear Price 75 shillings. Based on tradesmen's wages at the time that would be more like £75 today. I thought that this information may be useful to anybody trying to find these parts.

Dic Doretti Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 I fitted a set of these shoes to my Morris Traveller, which is fitted with Wolseley 1500 brakes. The TR shoes are slightly wider than the Wolseley shoes but fit fine. Cheers Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin Fairhurst Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) I would have thought that a list of various applications of common parts could be more useful these days with the internet and ebay. I just did a search for Commer 15 cwt brake shoes and a set of Ferodo shoes came up that look very similar to the early TR2 rear shoes and are reasonably priced.
