Rear Brake Shoes

I have had no luck in sourcing the Girling version of JLM800 handbrake shoes so I am going the re-lining route. I have spent quite a while searching the internet and then made several phone calls and arrived at Villiers Services. They are essentially a motorcycle specialist run by enthusiasts, based in the Midlands, who also do re-lining of brake shoes etc. Basically you send them your old set with info on make of vehicle, driving requirements etc., in this case, purely handbrake. They then fully refurbish all the shoes fitting the correct lining to the original specification. All the old lining materiel has been removed, the steel work is blasted and all is given a nice coat of paint.
Before........

After a short while I received the rear brake shoes back through the post and I am really pleased with them. They really are as good as new! I will use this process again as and when I have the need. Total cost for the re-lining was £35.90 including delivery.
Re-lined and refurbished parts. They look as new!
Really pleased with how they have turned out.
