Its off to the powder coaters tomorrow to be blasted and painted. Im after a full drum kit for both sides to replace the very worn old ones.
Could someone tell me the best place to get the full kit that il need to install the complete set up.
Cheers

Grey and black bit is the wheel cylinder. It's the part that pushes the shoes out so that your brakes actually work. I got a pair from EPC for £15 so for the money its worth replacing them while you have it off.
That makes sense, as i was getting confused with something hydraulic. Im replacing all of my brake parts so il get some new ones. Don't suppose You'd know the right backing plate to buy off vw heritage?

We can only do the right side rear backing plate sadly - the left is currently unavailable - we are working at getting a supplier to produce this for us.
