Rare Spares have 'em. About $85.00 a corner  Cry
Shoes about $60.00-70.00 for front and back.

If you are a member of one of the FE FC Clubs you should be able to get a discount.

At a brake place you'll pay about $600.00-700.00  Shocked for renewal of all cylinders/shoes/and drum machining/labour.

I have had success running a light hone through the cylinders, if there not badly corroded this will work.

If the cylinders are pitted, they'll have to go  Cry


Good luck...

Hi Liam,

There is a company in Melb that re-sleeves master cyl, clutch cyl, wheel cylinders and calipers.
They bore them out and resize them back to standard with stainles steel inserts I highly recommend them they have done resto work for myself a few times.
Under normal use they will out last the arrig part,
At one stage they where working on relining brake drums they had been testing them on a late ford ute, but i dont know how far they got with it.
There prices are good compared to buying new specially the hard to find bits.
I will find there phone No if it will help you.

Steve.

PBR Power Brakes do a similar service in Adelaide with the stainless linings.
