Evening, I am needing to service the drum brakes on Tiny before I try putting her through the MOT, what are the best shoes available? also, are the front and back drum setup's the same?

Thanks!

I use lucas girling shoes all round, stop well with normal pedal pressure and don't fade or wear badly under day to day useage, the front ones are a little wider. Don't be tempted by unipart ones unless you like lots of brake squeal and brake fade.

Ah ok, any idea where to get them? can't say I've seen them anywhere.

Try this, i use the cambridge branch and they've been good and deliver to work too, but they seem to have branches all over, good for cheap electrical stuff too (starters, alternators etc)
