When Fitting MG brakes to Morris Minor, what is the best rear brake? Why does changing the front drum calipers take a larger volume of brake fluid? What is the distance from the pedal pad to the pivot point on the Spridget pedal boxes?
Answer:
If upgrading to front Sprite/Midget brakes there's no need to upgrade the rear drums. Neither is any change generally needed to the master cylinder. However, you may want to add the convenience of the remote reservoir - it allows easier access to the fluid top-off and adds overall fluid capacity:
The distance from the pedal pad to the pivot point on the Spridget pedal boxes is approx. 7". I hope that's what you needed.

Morris Minors and all drum brake equipped Sprites have what are known as dual leading shoe brakes on the front, this means that there is an individual wheel cylinder for the leading edge of each shoe. The two cylinders for the right front wheel (FBK105) are the same and the two for the left (FBK106) are mirrors of the right. These fit the fronts of Morris Minors from 1954-71.
Two (2) are required for the right front.

Early Morris Minors ('48-'62) used single piston rear wheel cylinders. These are noted externally by having the brake adjuster through the wheel rather than on the backplate. There is one per wheel but we recommend replacing them in pairs.
These cylinders have 7/8" bores, the later type RBK106's have 3/4" bores - they are basically interchangeable as long as both are replaced at a time.
These wheel cylinders are used in both the early Morris Minor (1948-1962) and Bugeye Sprites (1958-1961).
