Best place for handbrake shoes?

Post by diamond hell » Fri Mar 07, 2014 12:40 am

I've just converted my SJ trialer to rear discs, in anticipation of fitting fiddle brakes to it.

Thankfully the transfer box on it had a transmission brake on it, despite having rear brake handbrakes (the original one crapped out and the one I happened to have to replace it with just happened to have a drum on it!)

However, now I come to actually use it, naturally there's no evidence of any material on the shoes in there, except some remnants welded to the drum! Where's the best place to get new shoes for the handbrake?

Cheers!

Local motor factors is best bet.

Quite a few for sale online for the Japanese build type.
Absolutely sod all for the Spanish built type, you can get them relined if you have too.
