Cortina Axle / Brakes Question?
kendo - 14/1/09 at 10:10 AM

Morining all!

I am using a cortina rear axle for my car, which when I got it had the rear brakes stripped down. I know it is from a 2.0l MkIV and therefore uses the larger drums but when I look up the rear shoes there are two types. One with an arm on one of the shoes and another with no arms.

My question is how can I tell which type of shoes to get? Does anyone have any clues or are there any distinctive features on the back plate which would define which to use?

Cheers.
