The brake pins and clips on my 91 Ford Escort were similar but I never directly compared the parts.

SS is out of stock on these, and not sure when and if they could get more..  Are there any equivalent parts from our British cousins that will fit and are available?

I came across these quite by accident.  There are a bunch of Rootes
produced films on You Tube, apparently sourced from the Rootes archive.
Below are a few.  Just search for Rootes in the You Tube search tool, and
more will appear.

After confirming they were available, I ordered the springs and shoe hold
down pins from Sunbeam Spares (UK) on Feb 27.  They arrived today, March
10.  The shipping cost more than the parts. But I never found any available
on this side of the pond.

Thanks for the hints,
Stu
