BJ8 Rear Brake Kit British Parts Northwest

Merry Christmas!

My driver's side rear wheel cylinder is leaking DOT 5 on the garage floor, so I thought I'd spend the winter months taking care of any rear brake issues. British Parts Northwest offers a "Super Brake Kit" for the rear... https://www.bpnorthwest.com/austin-...e-kit-rear-austin-healey-bn1-late-to-bj8.html

I've only used Girling or other British parts for the brake and clutch master cylinders and the clutch slave cylinders. Northwest doesn't indicate where their parts are from and I'm emailing them to ask, but I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience with this kit or with Northwest.

Thanks!

I don't know the kit, but I know the people at BPN and they would not sell junk that would have to be replaced. I have bought generic brake cylinders and had no problems. A kit made for the Healeys is a plus since many brake pads are too thick to fit into the drums.
