Message-ID: 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.

A previous mechanic had used pins which were too long, so had shimmed them with nuts on the backside of the backing plate. I ended up getting a set from the UK via EBay earlier this year. My set appears to be high quality hardware. Shipping wasn't an issue, but took a couple of weeks. Be aware that the shipping cost will likely exceed the parts, and then add in tariffs, so expect to pay $50 - $60 US.
