Any idea what the A40 Farina got its front brakes from? I'm searching all over trying to find some wheel cylinders but can't find a thing. I'm sure they used the same ones as other cars used but I can't find anything for an interchange.
 
The Mark 1 Farina brakes were like the A35; hydraulic up front, mechanical at the back. Mark 2 was hydraulic all round. I think the Mk2 was 9" front, the Mark 1 was 8".
I thought the hydraulics were the same as 948cc Sprites or Morris Minor 1000s, but reserve the right to be totally wrong about that!

You'll probably find parts in the UK, try Ebay UK for example.
 
kip motors kipmotor.com seems to carry them
