You could just replace the wheel cylinders? Or while you've got the lot apart I suppose new bits all round wouldn't hurt. If the shoes and drums are alright though, it's probably not worth replacing everything.

Hows your handbrake?

ah ok, i didnt knwo i could change just that bit, handbrake is goood.

Any ideas where to get new cylinders from

gsf?

I got a pair from GSF. They offer 4 different types depending on quality and whether the car has a rear brake compensator valve.

If you have a GT or G40 you will need the wheel cylinders for use with the compensator valve. All other models do not come with the valve, and take a different cylinder. I think they're priced from £6.50 each. Better quality ones cost £8.50.

I've just got some new rear cylinders at a cost of £12.78 from HMF in Huntingdon, Cambs.

Anyone local, IE ST Ives, HUntingdon ect ect I'd seriously reccommend them for spares, I've been getting parts from them for years now. Same day collection or guarenteed next day if you need the parts quickly.
