Rear brake shoes plenty meat on them
Front shoes I need to replace
Noticed whilst doing the hub bearings this morning, however I didn’t measure the size of the drum only realised when I started the search for replacements either 10” or 11” diameter
When I replace the near side bearings next week I will measure to confirm
S3 1983 88”
Any recommendations for quality replacements
Please

Get originals. Try Blanchard's. Expensive yes but better than the toffee Chinesr crap.
I bought mine from a main dealer a long time ago. After fitting them thete was no more up and down of the brake pedal and thete still isn't.

Cheers Neil
I used Blanchard’s after your last recommendation
Will do
Is it worth getting new springs at the same time or did you use the existing ones.

Yes, worth getting new springs to do a proper job and Blanchard's have genuine ones as I bought some recently. I ' ve got discs on the front and the rear brakes were done some time ago. There's been some confusion over jow the springs are fitted so do one brake at a time and make sure the springs are fitted correctly or you'll never get the adjustment correct. I'm keeping mine for a rear brake shoe replacement some time in the future.
Presume you have a parts list.

Parts list ?
I have the Britpart catalog

This is what you need. It's indispensable.

Oooooooo that looks nice
I will have a check on eBay see if I can source one

Just purchased one from Amazon
Exact part number as on yours
So big thank you for the heads up

Now you'll want the parts list for "Optional Extras."
I bought my parts list last century from a local agricultural dealer not long after I bought the La d Rover. It's proved extremely useful over the decades. If I want a part, I look in the list then google the part number to see who's got it and at what price amd whether it's genuine or pattern. I invariably end up buying it from Blamchards.

Get behind me satan
