it surely has Jimbo, thing is i mot'd it last week, as he was testing the brake and nothing was happening i said id just put new shoes in, he then said "oh, that would be it then, just need bedding in", great mot place, just like the good old days.
but i thought i'd best check why they had failed.

Never heard of a drum brake, break :shock:

A rivet or two will stop that - you could have broken your neck :!:

inside of the drum had a build up of dried on crud, had to scrape, sand and clean it up before new shoes went in. was keen to get out and try the new brake but the weather has come in :cry:
