[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 631555, member: 3541"] The offside brakes won't work as the front brakes are single circuit and all the pressure is going through the burst cylinder seal. To be honest, I'd strip and refurb the lot. If one wheel cylinder has leaked then the others aren't far behind. And I'd replace the flexi hoses as well. When was the last time they were done? Clean and smear the adjusters in anti-seize, replace the brake shoes and give the braking surface of the drums a good once over with some 80 grit sandpaper. Don't worry about paint unless you're stripping them right down to backing plates. [/QUOTE]
