I have these drum brakes that came with my car, they had xr3i written on the but after taking the fitted ones off for replacement they are a different fitting and handbrake system.

Any help would be greatly appreciatedIMG_0568.thumb.jpeg.045a088500584645197bd73615ea1f16.jpegIMG_0566.thumb.jpeg.577dfdbe377fd97dced9074b30468f85.jpegIMG_0567.thumb.jpeg.1701aaad6678eacb5bc67f6bd262161d.jpegIMG_0569.thumb.jpeg.095978482230a514de638a1a73434b47.jpeg👍

    With those retaining springs and keyhole washers, they look like Capri from about 1980...  they bolt onto a live rear axle, possibly held in place by the half shaft, long time since I messed around with Capris !

    What is the ID of the drum, and brake shoe width/size ?

    You could post on :

    or the Capri Club ?

    The Ford part number on picture 2 is for a Mk3 Escort.  Seems to cover multiple engines.

    Looks like drum & shoes aren't sold as a set though, so maybe the shoes are for a different model.  Is there a part number in the same style on the handbrake mechanism?
