The rear shoes on my 73 roadrunner have worn right down, and I'm looking for a company that may have them in stock in the UK
Could any one point me in the right direction please

Also, Rodley motors in Yorks and customville in Romgord. Both have extensive stock parts.
Craig, make sure you measure them before ordering as sizes can differ.

Yeah it seems 10" and 11" are the options. Ive measured the drums on mine and the internal Dia is 10"

on closer inspection, it would seem something has gone a miss inside one of my rear brake drums !!! I have a brace / lever that seems to have popped out from its position, just under the brake cycliner, and a snapped spring that would have tensioned it !??
anyone know what the spring is called and where I could get a replacement from ? luckily the lever hasn't scoured the important part of the brake drum, but the cylinders are leaking so I might see if a complete kit can be bought ?

That is the parking brake (E Brake) strut rod and it only has one spring.

US Automotive hold most brake parts in stock. Their website is decent and shows the content and photos of brake hardware kits. They will also give you a small discount if you tell them that you're an MMA member.

CM Frost also have a very extensive stock list. I use them all the time for brake bits.
If no one has the park brake rod you can make one out of a piece of steel.

I use Frosts a fair bit too. They often have in stock what others don't. Within spitting distance of Santa Pod too.
