Girling Brand

Girling Brand Overview

  1. Girling (Co-Founder of Franks-Girling Universal Postage) patented a wedge-actuated braking system. In 1929 he sold the patented rights to the New Hudson Company.
  2. Girling later developed disc brakes, which were successful on racing cars from the early 1950s to the 1970s.
  3. Girling brakes had the quirk of using natural rubber (later nitrile) seals, which caused difficulties for some American owners of British cars because of incompatibility with US brake fluids.
  4. Girling brake manufacture was taken over by Lucas in 1938, but the patent remained held by New Hudson until this in turn was purchased by Lucas in 1943.
  5. Lucas then moved its Bendix brake and Luvax shock absorber interests into a new division which became Girling Ltd.
  6. Girling Products include:
    • Brake System
    • Clutch System
    • Shock Absorbers
