Angelo,

Both mods are likely desirable.

I think the older axle had reliability issues. 

Either size wheel cylinder will work OK, methinks.

On the other hand, you can have old 10" shoes relined for a reasonable price, 
if your drums are good.

Mosport this year, Angelo? There will be several Triumph folks there.

Hello List:
Any thoughts on the advantages of fitting 9" rear brakes on a Girling 
axle that previously had 10" brakes? Again, contemplating the 
installation of a later Girling axle into the TR2 and wondering if it 
would be advantageous to fit the later 9" brakes at this point. 
(Cheaper shoes, alloy finned drums). What about the size of the rear 
cylinders for the later 9" brakes? Any issue here or will either size 
of cylinder work well, provided they are the same on both sides?
Thanks in advance for any help or accounts of previous experiences.

Angelo Graham
