Hi

Just type brake relining services into google there are lots of specailists out there who can do relines for you.

are they not available new?

surely you do not need to take your car off the road everytime you want some new brake shoes?

maybe that is the price you pay for having the best brakes in the world

As I have explained before - TR7 rear brake shoes (for the later 5 speed cars) are virtually the same - just need the notch filing into the front edge to sit into the adjuster cam spindle and possibly a slight narrowing with a file depending on the supplier. Often very cheap on ebay! I'm sure there are specialist suppliers who can get the W shoes - but at a price !!

Not all good news then?

excellent, cheap, new and possibly plentiful, ill get those then

But be aware - they WILL need some modification to fit........

[cadetchris]

thats not a huge problem,
if the worst comes to the worse, could i just whip the actual pads off and fit them to the wolseley shoes with new copper rivets?

[bmcecosse]

I guess so - but the mods should be very simple - provided the linings are not too wide... One set I bought (for my TR7) are slightly wider than the others - which are a good match for the W shoes.

£8.50 - Standard Delivery

Do they delivery them by taxi?

It's all that careful wrapping.......

Must be.
