Which brake shoes

[excalibur]

The brakes on the front of my camper are grinding so want to order some new shoes

Looking at the online dealers there seem to be 3 sizes

standard axle
15 seater bus
heavy duty axle

I know it aint a bus so assume I have a choice of two. Am I right in thinking the standard will be the SWB and the heavy duty the LWB?

Its for this



Although if I look here and put in 1973 Transit it says I have discs which I know is wrong

oh yeah forgot about the fire van that doesnt count as i've never had the wheels off

OK, bit of a problem now.

Measured the shoes, and it turns out to be a standard axle.

Have tried to buy online only to be told they are obsolete, these are the ones I tried to get. Same on a couple of other sites

Any idea what motor factors will be able to help? Supposed to be going on holiday in a couple of weeks so need it sorting urgently

have you tried e-bay there are brake shoes on there all the time

[Chaz&Saz]

Are your baseplates ok? If so get them re-lined Got a set done a year ago cost £30. took 2 days

Tried evilbay and they only have the LWB ones. Found a place down the road from work who will reline the old shoes. £40 but can pick them up in the morning.

The linings I have are fine, just one has come off the shoe and another was just starting to. I have some shoe rivetts but they are for commercials. If they had been smaller I would have drilled them and rivetted them back on
