[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 20912, member: 161"] If you are going to just use hydraulics to move the external lever on the brake plate I think you will need quite a bit of travel. I spoke to a couple of people last evening about hydraulic operated drum brakes. My friend with the Ariel used a single Mini slave cylinder. Another told me about a Norton full width brake that used two Mini slaves internally to operate twin leading shoes. This one apparently works very well. My brother has the bits to sometime try to convert a Matchless full width hub to TLS using Mini slaves and Mini brake shoes. Mini slaves come in 15/16" and 1" diameters I'm told. [/QUOTE]
