    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,

    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
