Rear Brakes

[Powerman]

Could anyone tell me where I can get new rear discs and handbrake shoes for my ZT 260

[Tim]

You can get them through us John, cheaper if you are a member. Pads can be obtained through normal suppliers. Same as the lotus Elise I think.

[Powerman]

That's great how much are they?

[Tim]

£347 per set to you as a 'blue' £324 as a 'green'.

Forgot, welcome to the Two-Sixties :)

Just re-read you are asking about handbrake shoes, opps not sure someone will help out.

hope your sitting down

How do I join and order the discs? Good to be here!

[Tim]

When you registered earlier you would have been sent the link to the questionnaire. Complete this confirming your willingness to join the MGOC and that's it. :)

Handbrake shoes are Galfer 520, but haven't been able to x-reference or actually find them. Even called Galfer and they couldn't help either

As a full member you'll also see lots of threads on the topic

Must be able to get the shoes somewhere...............

Handbrake shoes from Rimmers SFS000070P (http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-SFS000070P)

That will stop me rolling off the sea front lol

Post up your location in your profile - it may well be that you do not need shoes at all, a good clean of the inside of the discs ie the drum, and getting the handbrake adjusted (not as easy as it seems) may solve the problem. Also unless your discs are totally shot there is enought meat on them to get them skimmed

[Powerman]

The car was in today and the discs are really buggered - its been standing for a while with the previous owner and the sea air has got to them I'm afraid.........John

Hey look Johns gone green :)

John has Manxmann old car ;)

[Powerman]

Bloody lovely thing!

Didn't have them last time I looked. Good price as well
May just order a set to be safe.

Thanks:D

[ColinE]

Guessed that was the case when I 'checked his profile'

John do you visit the mainland at all - as shipping costs to IOM seem very high from my discussion on parts with Manxmann

Oh by the way welcome to the collective - you'll be as paranoid as the rest of us very very soon

[ColinE]

It is indeed, had a good look round it when it was up on the ramps being waxoyled

Bear in mind these are patent parts (as denoted by the P at the end of the part number and not OEM)

As long as they fit and work......it's fine (with or without P)somehow that sounds wrong

[ColinE]

Yeah but it's getting late and BB isn't around so we should be ok

[Powerman]

For all you help with the brakes - new discs and handbrake shoes are on thier way to the sunny Isle of Man - Happy days. If any of you ever get over here look me up for a "rumble" - John
