Thread: Bendix or Girling?
Post: RE: Bendix or Girling?
Could that by why there appears to be quite a lot of drag on that side? The thing is, adjustment would push the shoes out further as far as I can tell, thereby causing even more drag? |

Thread: Bendix or Girling?
Post: RE: Bendix or Girling?
Back of the plate. I'm pretty sure this is a Bendix system. Also I'm getting a litre of brake fluid, is that enough to bleed all four brakes including two new rear wheel cylinders? |

Thread: Bendix or Girling?
Post: Bendix or Girling?
Nothing on any of the components to indicate whether it's one or the other but looking at the diagrams of the two in Haynes, this is looking like a Bendix setup to me, right? |
