Andrew Forster of Archers Garage is thinking of reproducing the original Sebring Girling disc/drum brake set-up if there is sufficient interest and demand. This would involve re-manufacture of a limited run of the now unobtainable Girling Type 10 calipers. He is also considering having some of the larger rear back plate pressings made to enable one to fit the 8" rear brakes - the drums themselves are the same as those fitted to a Morris 1000.

Before taking this further they need to gauge the demand so if you're interested please send a message to them at: archersclassiccars@supanet.com
