Rear Brake Shoes for a series 1

Gsf stock brake shoes for a mk1 Golf. I bought a set, they do not fit.
Was I surprised!

Where can I get a set of  , manually adjustable rear brake shoes for a series 1 ?

take a pair into a large ish motor factors - a good one will have a big book with templates for brake shoes and should be able to match them up for you.

Failing that, can you swap the manual adjusters for auto ones?

Dubboy wrote on a restoration thread somewhere on here:

"rear brake refurb. I want to keep to the original spec with the manual adjusters. Actually they are more reliable than the auto wedge set up providing you keep the adjusters clean.

First job - get hold of some pre-78 shoes and fitting kit. Luckily I keep these in stock "  

ie First job - get hold of some pre-78 shoes and fitting kit   :banghead:

Where?, Does anyone know of a stockist?
