if you have the unit just take the brake shoes out of it, they only slide up and down (o'er missus)

Coloredtuffs.com do but i'm still waiting for a reply to my three emails over the last three weeks about that very same thing. I want some front flanges too. Ed is a bit busy with the Anniversary T/A f&f though so it may be better to go somewhere else.

 :LolLolLolLol: Missed that bit, but wouldn't a rear not fit the front as the width across the axles are different, a rear being considerably wider than a front  :-\
