Handbrake shoes.

[gtojeff]

Hi there, i need to replace the handbrake shoes on my standard 2.5 gto. Are they an item you can only get from noble or are they a standard fitment from something else ? Any info much appreciated. thanks.

[TuxMan]

Noble only I'm afraid , stupid money too !!! some have had them re-linned but not sure where you get that done . how bad are yours ?

I brought mine from a Noble owners in the states for cheaper than uk.

Have mad so much difference as now I have a hand break that works

[gtojeff]

Thanks for the info, mine quite low but i think there's a local company that reline so will look in to that first. Cheers

Had mine re-lined about 2 years ago and they have worked perfectly ever since. Cost £10 for the both of them from an old school re-lining company, guy said it was the simplist job he'd had all week, only left them with him for half a day and they came back cleaned and painted 👍👍

[gtojeff]

Hi craig, do you have any contact details for the relining company you used. cheers jeff.

[andygtt]

id be interested in that number as well... I have a couple of spares on the shelf that I would also get done at same time

[Quantum Steve]

And me please - no handbrake, shoes have disintegrated....

[WillB]

Yes please, me too!

I did hear they were from a Corvette??

[Craighb]

Sorry Guy's, haven't been on the forum for a couple of days......I'll find the details and post it up - I'll also check he's still in business!!!

Managed to get them relined about 4 miles from my doorstep for the princely sum of £30, top job by a company called fastek. There in Bradford but also have places elsewhere, check out their website for details. Sure beats the £224 i was quoted for a new pair.

my handbrake stopped working recently, more likely the cable has disconnected in the tunnel, but possibly the heat from racing has burnt off what was left of the original material.

[gtojeff]

Sorry got the name wrong, its saftek not fastek as i mistakenly put.

[Craighb]

Checked on the firm I used and they can still do them - you will need to ring for current prices with shipping
