attleej Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 As I recall, the Saxon had GKN Kirkstall axles with hub reductions and S cam brakes. What was interesting is that many vehicles of that era had the same GKN axles. You would think that provided parts for comonallity (however it is spelt!) . Oh no! There were different pat nos for each vehicle. You would have thought that thye would have insisted that the shoes, bearings and oil seals had the same pt no in order to reap the benefits of using the same axle across a wide range of vehicles. (Foden EKA, Foden DROPS, Leyland DAF DROPS, Bed TM, Saxon, BR90 to name a few. However, looking at the photo these photos, these shoes are not for S cams. The Kirkstall axle used beautiful cast iron shoes. Possibly they are for a Saxon transmission brake if it did not use spring brakes.

john1950 Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 I think the linings are quite common but the mounting shoes must be specific to a vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
