That's really useful info, thanks.

Also...I've just sent my front calipers off to Ward Engineering to be refurbished. They will upgrade them to stainless pistons for £70 per piston unit. Powertrack Ltd have a stock of original new Dunlop 2 1/2" calipers for £110ea.

Hi Christian,

For many years my parents ran one of the very first Rover 2000s. That had Dunlop brakes, & I wonder if the Lagonda ones are the same/similar? We had no end of trouble with the cylinders rusting, & despite the central guide pin, the pistons would still tend to tip, allowing the pads to wear unevenly. New cylinders rusted in no time, then one day, a new one supplied was nickel plated. Had no problems at all, ever, with that one. Perhaps new ones now are all plated, if not, might be worth considering. The plating wasn't that thick, the outer soon rusted, but where it mattered, the cylinder walls, they were always good as new.
