I've heard that healey offered an upgraded rear brake for the Bugeye. I
think it uses Riley parts. Has anyone done this, are the parts hard to

The Sebring Sprites used Riley 1.5 rear drum assemblies (wheel cylinders,
backing plates, drums etc.). Somewhat easy to find in the UK because that's
where most of them stayed. Most junkyards in the UK seem to have a few of
these cars that have gone to their maker. If you get them from a "specialist"
expect to pay about 200 GBP for the setup. If you get them from a breakers
yard you'll pay around 30 GBP, as I did.
Don't know about Canada or USA.
