    It seems Steve my mot man is struggling to get my handbrake ubber effective -- says drums are thin and shoes are low , he is trying at this very mo to make them effective but has suggested i buy new drums and shoes even if he succeeds .

    They are the late drums and shoes , i have priced them up on vwh and justkampers , jk have a complete refurb kit inc drums, shoes and cylinders for £56 ish a side and vwh have drums for £44 and shoes £26 .

    No brainer really but has anyone bought these from jk , or do you know a better deal .

    Better still does anyone have any they want to get shot of -- NO , No worrys :)

    Malc - have you looked at them yourself? Taken a pic? Never order rear brake shoes without seeing for yourself. The bits are interchangeable to a degree and anything could have happened in the last 40 years. Have a look mate and order for what you have. While you are looking, do a finger test on the handbrake lever - sometimes the spreader bar is so worn, the lever hits the hub before the shoes move and bingo no handbrake. ;)

    Same problem on mine even after fitting new shoes (mine were GSF but they dont have any just now). Welded the ends of the spreaders up and filed a new, shallower slot in.

    Backed adjusters off put hubs back on, adjusted back u till just fouling the drums, back off a couple of clicks, adjusted brakes to just touching at 6 clicks and all seems well. Fitted new cables as well o probably wont work too well for a bit as they will need a bit of adjustment. Will post pics as I have 72 only shoes too.
