one pair? depends on how springy! as for the noggins - could get by with just the offside one, as i have rather rusty nearside number, but would prob be best to replace the lot. if all else fails im going to have to buy a whole axle and ditch the lot but seems bit extreme!

Why not weld brackets to the axle and go cable all the way?

I have a spare pair without the rubber gromets - that's why I was asking the going rate.

I had the same problem as you, and found it almost impossible to find any, i ended up getting a whole new axle just for the levers. if it is any help there is no differance between the 2 sizes of rear drums- the levers are the same.
Hope you can find a set. if you find a supplier let us know as a few of us had the same problem

What do they look like?

Can they not be fabricated?

Cheers,
James

ISTR from a while back on the Tiger forum that the Sierra back plate and hand brake mech will fit onto the escort live axle. Don't know if that will help anybody?
