Hi, thanks for adding me to the forum, I have just acquired an old 1 ton dumper possibly a thwaites finline going on internet pictures.
It has been used up until recently when the steering box failed which I am in the process of repairing, my question is about brake shoes as previously being used on a flat site the brakes weren't used but our land is a bit more hilly so I want the brakes working properly, they do still work a bit but need a lot of pressure and are adjusted beyond the limits.
Are the shoes unique to dumpers or are they a part used on other vehicles.
I'll try and put some pics on for identification.

Re: Dumper info
Hi Brian and welcome to CMN I think that brake shoes would be available off the shelf from Thwaites, perhaps somebody else could advise on this.
