1966 mk1 lotus cortina rear brake shoes

Post by 1427 »

1966 mk1 lotus cortina rear brake shoes (9" x 1 3/4) the ones used in conjunction with self adjusting mechanism. I am having great difficulty in locating a new set. Could anybody help me in this task? Is there any other classic cars fitted with same type?

I'm pretty sure that the Dolomite Sprint shares the same shoes.

Many thanks Keith ,
thanks for the link to the Dolomite Sprint brake shoes these do look like the same shoes.
I have also found out that MK1 ESCORT MEXICO,TWINCAM ,RS1600 ,9 INCH BRAKE SHOES look the same. I found these on Historic Motor Sport website. I checked with them and the are 9" X 1 3/4" . These also look like Dolomite Sprint brake shoes
