My bro has just reminded me that when we last checked his handbrake, one of the pin/spring/cap sets that hold the shoes to the backplate was missing.

Does anyone know if you can buy these, without buying a set of shoes, since his shoes are OK?
(They're not listed on Service Box, but the ones for holding service brake shoes on cars with drums are, [4308 60 Brake Shoe Spring Set], any chance they're the same)?

I bought a set from a local motor factors for about £6. There is a good chance the spring fell out as the holes in the backplates sometimes get worn away so the retaining pins pops out.

You can always put a nut and bolt through it, not too tight though....

Thanks, Kelv, I'll get him to check out the LMF's.

You might ask him to take the other one off and try to get one similar that might cost only a few pence...otherwise, there is an alternative if anyone needs shoe fitting kits or odds and ends related to fitting pads and shoes....http://brakeparts.co.uk/#page=parts&pag ... 2.1+DIESEL

The set from LMF has 4 retaining pins with springs, as well as the 4 bigger springs to hold the shoes together. There may be cheaper alternatives but I was caught short.......

Thank you very much gents, you've been a big help.
