Removed brake lines and ebrake today. Was hoping to clean up ebrake cables and reuse but they are rusted solid to the mount and levers. Going to have to drill those out or cut off. Anybody have a resource for new ones?
Have to drill pins out to get brake cylinder out.
Took a good half hour to remove single drum brake. Wasn't siezed as the car could roll, why so difficult to get off? Maybe rusted to hub?
Going to need an impact gun for the rest of disassembly.
Suscribe or check back with us from time to time to view our progress, comment, or offer any advise you may have on what to do and not to do during our project. Thanks for viewing and happy motoring. Jonathan A. and Jonathan F.
Thank you Nick! Keep the info coming. Much appreciated. I will be sure to source those parts.
All the brake parts are TR6 and available all over the place (The Roadster Factory, British Parts NW, Victoria British, Rimmer) and are inexpensive. The e-brake cables are not TR6 and are available from TVR Parts Ltd (30 British pounds each) https://tvr-parts.com/tvr-parts/part-details/tvr-15850/handbrake-cable,
I replaced the rear drums with finned aluminum.
Before I blasted my frame, I removed all the suspension and drive line in preparation for new urethane bushings (complete bushing kit including differential, available from Dominion Spares).
