After reading a forum post, on a certain Rover MG website, regarding the very same shoes and how, according to the poster, they didn't fit the inner disc aperture evenly, I was a little concerned when ordering these same shoes as the existing ones, along with the discs and pads, really needed renewal. The handbrake wasn't holding very securely, even with the 'compensator pin' replacement. Although a certain amount of friction loss can be attributed to an accumulation of dust, and suitable cleaning may offer improved and extended functionality, seeing as the hub, disc and calliper assembly require removing to access the handbrake shoes I determined it best to renew them as well as cleaning the handbrake area. The order was delivered next day by UPS, impressive as the delivery was free and in short the operation was a success, greatly improved handbrake functionality, at 3 clicks, and new Mintex discs and pads were fitted at the same time with good contact all round. Once the fiddley cog adjustments were made the handbrake seems as good as new. So I can honestly recommend the Mintex hand brake shoes, at least when fitted to new Mintex discs, which I sourced also via eBay albeit from a separate seller to the shoes. All in all I'm very pleased, both on price and quality of materials, with Mintex brakes! Read full review

I have had other handbrake shoes that have taken a degree of fettling to get to fit right. These fitted easily and the disc went over them at the first attempt. Adjusted up with no trouble.
