Just got my shoes back from Belfast Brakes

[conaero]

Just turned up, thanks to Jezza for suppling the old shoes, they are absolutely perfect, painted and stickered up with Lucas logos:

They are bonded with a much stronger glue than original, so they are less likely to de laminate, as what seems to happen a lot.

SportsMaserti.com proud to announce Belfast Brake discount offer...

They look excellent Matt!!

 

[conaero]

Yeah, I am chuffed to nuts!

Just not looking forward to fitting them, well adjusting them, they are a right nightmare!

Enz, what system for the handbrake does the QP use? shoes or callipers, they must have committed these shoes to history by now!

For the savings you've made on parts, surely it might be worth a trip to Mike Roberts and pay to have them fitted Matt? I hate adjusting handbrake shoes on cars!

 

[conaero]

Might well do, he is due down to change my oil sender, might bung em on and let him set them up.

Not sure Matt,
I think callipers, will check and report back,

Assume its going to be the same for the GT/GTS as the chassis is the same.

£30?? sounds good, im taking a look at mine tomorrow as MOT is getting done this week and i have a non existant handbrake. Might well need to use this service

 

[conaero]

I thing for new, they are £200 ish from main dealer and about £130 from Eurospares.

We only have one loan set at the moment, and they are in use. We are in the process of getting some more.

Might have to bite the bullet and buy new then if i cant get the handbrake adjusted up enough to pass the MOT

 

[conaero]

Save your old ones for us will you?

Save your old ones for us will you?

if i have to buy new, of course i will. Im all for members helping one another out. I reckon with my mate doing the MOT and a bit of adjustment i might just be able to hang on for the set already in circulation though. if i have time, i'll have a quick look tomorrow

Hi Matt,

Well, looks like these have not been committed to history!!
I am reliable informed that the QP has handbrake shoes in a drum just like the 3200s

Enzo.

Well you live and learn, bet they are the same, ill check Eurospares...

 

[conaero]

QP 2006 well would you look at that....

Part number: 219569 £55.41 plus VAT and delivery each.

Different from the GS part number is: 194876 and £60.43 plus VAT and delivery each. (bet they are the same)

Enz, if you can get me an old set, I am sure I can get them reburbed for the same money.

Cheers Matt,
Mine was adjusted at the last service, and recently passed it's MOT...
Can't say it's the best handbrake I have ever had, but I never use it anyway
I will see if I can get hold of an old set and let you know,
Regards,
Enzo.
