Working from memory here, but I believe that all
Alpine I through 4 and all Tigers share the
Girling brake system with that used in the
Triumph TR4A, TR250, and TR6.  The Alpine V, save
for very late production, shared its brake system
with the German Ford Capri I's of the 1970 vintage.

Any shop worth its salt will have an old copy of
the Lucas catalogue that will tell all.
