Hi guys, Thanks for the suggestions. I decided to do the new brake shoes
this winter, replacing what I think are the originals. I got the car when
it was 10 years old and haven't changed them. And even though the
springs, pins and clips that I have are OK, I was hoping to renew
everything, The shoes are in the mail, and the springs are supposed to be
available soon. And yes, I saw that a couple UK sources claim to have
them. Are there any issues ordering from them? And I was considering the
hardware store solution as well.
Thanks again.
