Hi Gary,
Your rear drums are 229mm and the rear lining width is 45mm. I have a
couple of sets in my attic as I have been turned on to Carbon Kevlar
brakes by Sheally II. I am using these in the rear and use the same
materiel for the front pads as well. I am very very peased with their
performance as they produce a better "feel" and are, of course, more
effective and quieter.
The company I bought them from is called Porterfield who have an
excellent rep. You can read more on their site which is off the GoMoG
GENERAL PARTS DIRECTORY.
Be careful, as I have heard that there are some other carbon kevlar
brake manufacturers whose product can cause "grooving" of the front
rotors.
