hey everybody,

I was wondering if there were any specific markings I should be on the lookout for on supposedly genuine cooper s brakes?
on the callipers?
on the hubs?

thanks

The body of early hubs were slightly tapered towards the outside edge, modern ones are square.

The callipers I would think are the same as new ones.
