FRONT BRAKES & MASTER CYLINDER

To create your own Sebring Sprite Pedal Box Assembly see diagram on PDF. Brake and clutch pedals need to be extended above the main pivot – the dimension needing to be increased from 1⅝ inches (41.5mm) to 2 inches (51mm) i.e between the centre of the pedal pivot point bushing hole and the centre of the actuating rod/clevis attachment hole. An additional piece of steel has to be welded on to each original pedal and then cut to shape.

When Archers Garage was in operation before its closure in March 2016, Andrew Forster was endeavouring to reproduce the original Girling Type 10 calipers (right) which are no longer available. He had difficulty getting his new castings machined and I have not heard that these have progressed any further. (Dec 2017)

*An alternative caliper of similar appearance is that fitted to the rear of the Vauxhall Carlton Estate: part nos. BE1141 and BE1141R. Paul Webb has give me nos. BCA1752 and BCA1753 so they obviously go under different numbers with different motor factors. For caliper bracket drawing click here. (Unfortunately supplies of these calipers is now drying up – Dec 2017).
