Re: CGG808 anyone know it's past history

This 1938 Cambridge does not appear on the Club database so any previous owners have not been members or not notified details of the car.

Re: Austin Ten-Four 1933 – Looking for G4002 complete brake shoes

Ask ATDC spares - see parts dept button on Home page - if they have some aluminium Austin 10 brake shoes in their second-hand stock. They can also sell you the rivets if you want to transfer the good linings across from your broken shoes.
