Here is a picture of the rear axle in mine. This is original. 1 1/2 inch bore wheel cyl. Every thing in the front of the carrier was original, but back behind the cam plate, on the floor, each side was a bell crank, which operated a ford 1 1/4" master cyl. The two long brake rods, were shortened, and operated the bell crank.
On this set up, the back plates, and brake drums were cast up for the application, the brake shoes coming from one of the CMP's, and being bigger than other carriers.

I have a parts one that has been changed to hydraulic steering .They used two master cylinders with short leavers for steering .I know of another one that is done like this .Both have the driver sitting at the back end of the carrier. There is a post of my carrier here on this forum a while ago .

just a thort would a T16 rear axle be better for this as you have 2 pairs of brakes the hub and the diff you could convert the hubs to hydraulic and make the diff brakes a foot brakes maybe ? that way you wouldnt be depending on one set of shoes to do all the steering and stopping ?
whilst were on the subject of T16s has anyone got a set of tillers and the drivers raised floor ?
