Handbrake fitting?

Typhoon190 · 7th April 2009, 16:21

Hi Guys.

Needing to replace the brakes on my ZT-T 190. Haven't a problem getting pads, discs, handbrake shoes but can't seem to find a 'fitting kit' for the handbrake. Retaining springs etc. Tried Rimmers, my local motor factors and nothing.

Could anyone help me please? Would prefer to replace them as I've already had them dislodge! Not pleasant!

Thanks.

Just done mine, and reused what was there.....I doubt if a kit exists, you'd probably have to order all the bits seperately.

Hi David.

Just wanted to be on the safe side as it had all gone pop once already. X-part dealer told me they were obselete, and my local motor factor doesn't list any bits.

Now use part "SMN100290"

Thanks David. Will do. One more question if I may (tonight anyway

) , it says in the Haynes manual I need to remove the hub. Is this necessary or is it possible to get at the handbrake bits while this is in situe?

Haven't been near it yet so this may be (another) silly question.

Greeners · 7th April 2009, 22:01

did mine without removing the hub.........bit fiddly but beats taking the hub off..
