MG TD TF 1500 - TC brakes, 2 leading shoes with TD parts

On TC front brake backing plates. Has anyone mounted TD parts to get 2 leading shoes?

Wow. I think it would be easier to alter an MGA's backing plate to fit the TC spindle. If I find anything on that I'll report back.

Soft shoes, Alfin drums and call it a day! My TC can just about outstop my MGA.

Could you fit an MGB servo - it has been done on a Y(A), which also has single leading shoes at the front.

Lots of people have fitted an MGB servo to TDs and TFs. The usual location for the servo is above the rear axle. I don’t know if it’s been done on a TC though.

With better brakes, I think something would have to be done to withstand the greater twisting force, or torque reaction, on the TC front beam axle - which would not apply to the Y(A).
