Not sure if it's front / rear / SWB / LWB you have so;
This is excellent , exactly what I need , I have SWB and it's the rear I'm looking at , thanks , problem I have now is that when I took hub off the adjuster pin had fallen out of the shoe if I put a strong spring on it then there is no way it will hold and the peg will shoot out like a bullet from a gun, I'm assuming the are supposed to be spot welded , I've hammered it back in but I don't think it will hold , thanks again , very helpful.

I have found this; does it mean anything to you as I have never heard of this before!

Final question , there seems to be a bit of a discussion over this , rear shoes , SWB , does the top spring go from backplate to adjuster peg on shoe ( as stated in diagram ) or as many people suggest does it go into the small whole on the shoe?

Just taken old shoes off they had loads of wear left in them probably only about 30 % usage , however covered in brake dust and oil and if you look at the picture you will see that the peg has broken off the shoe and therefore the spring and peg were floating about

They will likely be Mintex product problem supposed to be solved but places will still have old stock Britpart have a good reputation as do TRW
.
You could refit the pin and get it welded soak the shoes in meths to clean the oil off.
