Hey guys, i took out my diff today to send it with my mate to get welded, while at it i thought i'd change the handbrake shoes cause the current ones didnt hold at all.
I found out that the left tyre is missing a shoe, and the springs pretty fucked, but i had previously bought rear brake shoes from ebay for a celica/corona, which my car has a corona disc break conversion and celica diff so i thought it would fit, turns out the ones i purchased are almost double the size of what i have.

Just wondering if someone can come have a look at a few things on my car and help me sort out some shit.
PM or reply here, i'll return the favour in a reasonable manner.

PS. Located in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne. Car is on stands.

i would assume the shoes you have are for normal drum brakes?

pretty sure corona drum shoes can still be purchased genuine from toyota.
i looked for after market ones but the brake joint said they didnt have anything at all aftermarket only genuine, and yes; you probably have drum shoes for normal drum only rear end.

Hmm i went into the nearest dealer to me, and said that i couldn't buy hand brake kits anymore.
Possibly right, that i have drum brake shoes for my disk breaks.

thanks for the headsup, i'll do some more sourcing!
