i would avoid anymore confusion and expense and get a rear axle off a disco which you can pick up complete for £50-£100 depending on condition, and will fit straight on with 2 new short brake pipes.
you will have much much better brakes and changing dreaded shoes will be a thing of the past.

Finally an answer !!! It seems that the bean counters in the MOD sourced some cheap and nasty repica parts namely santana 
i managed to get hold of a guy at the camp where my landy spent its life who told me the problems they had.
Anyway, to keep the landy original i decided to bite the bullet and bought 2 complete brake assemblies for it.
Thanks for all your help and advice
