Discs can be skimmed. or from the shop.Originally Posted by woolleysox
My drive is on a slope towards the road, I always back the car on and leave it in reverse. I do the same when parked in the garage. My handbrake works but it could be better I have been advised I will require discs,pads and shoes for the rear at the next service. (ouch) sounds expensive,
Pads, same as VX220 fronts.
Shoes.???????

Original shoes are marked Galfer 520.
Company is in California but the current catalogue does not list them.

This is what I found when I took my discs off...
Rear pads are Mintex MDB1890, which is Lotus Elise, Mitsubishi Lancer and the old Scooby...
A lot of cleaning and a bit of adjustment....and it was spot on...
I tried to track down Galfer and the shoes, but came up empty handed. I can't believe they were unique to the 260
I've sent an email to Galfer in Spain to see if they can help with shoes....watch this space.
can anyone who bought the spare sets of rear shoes, take a measurement for me please, thickness including the steel at the thickest point will do... I verniered mine when I changed them so would be good to know how much wear, if any..... they had on them....
I was 100% happy with them, only for info's sake
Adjusted the handbrake to my new rear disks, and its the best its ever been...
Straight through another MOTbut then the front and rear disks and pads, I fitted and front shock/springs replacement along with a f-r brake pipe at the last service it should do LOL...

FYI I'v just had my ZT-T complied in New Zealand. Rear pads stuffed and found that Subaru/Evo or 350Z pads are a match and cheaper than OE ones, hear anyway.
