Hello fellow Capri enthusiasts,
After recently purchasing some rear brake drums and shoes from eBay for my 1973 Ford Capri XL, I quickly found they did not fit.
As a result, I have commenced the hunt for an alternative source for two sets of rear brake shoes, and two rear brake drums.
Does anyone know of a reliable supplier for these two items?
Alternatively, does anyone have these items to sell for a fair price?
Other than the car specification, the only other information I have about the parts required is a very rusted reference code 'ZD1023' on one of the drums.
Here are a couple of pictures kindly furnished by my local garage:
Thanks very much in advance, looking forward to getting her back on the road!
Cheers,
Josh

Re: Capri Mk1 Rear Shoes and Drums
What engine size?
Re: Capri Mk1 Rear Shoes and Drums
The engine size is a 1.6 - the later 1.6 pinto rather than the kent.

But the axle is still the MK1 axle?
Re: Capri Mk1 Rear Shoes and Drums
It is indeed. Don't think any major changes to the underpinnings at all were made for the Mk1 facelift
Re: Capri Mk1 Rear Shoes and Drums
Yes. It has the original axle, and as it was registered on January 1st 1973, this will be fitted with either of the two original mk1 axles. Either way, they both have the same 9 inch brake drum.
