Well it was there at the beginning of the week as I was looking for a rear brake drum. Although I did think it strange that they had none in stock when I emailed them as with the number of cars they had breaking in the pictures I would have thought one would have had a drum

You haven't been tempted by the rear disc conversion yet then Martin? I filled my drums with mud for the first time this weekend and had to take the poxy wheel spacers off to get the drums off and then wash them out, it's a bit of a mission every time you go to an off road site. Fortunately we usually take our SJ to our club site and for some reason that seems to keep the mud out of the drums. Also, it has a transmission handbrake and an X eng at that, so I don't have that issue with the SJ!

Yes, I am going for the rear disk conversion. I just decided that I would get it through the MOT as it is first, rather than introducing possible new problems during conversion.
It passed today - so I am moving on to sort the conversion

Just a quick tip to those people with rear drums that fill with mud, drill some large holes in the outside of the drum on the face that fits against the back of the wheel, make sure you can see this when the wheel is on, after off roading insert hosepipe ! 2 large holes is best, mark them off with the wheel fitted then take the drums to an engineering shop to drill them out if it makes it easier.
or get a Rob Storr rear disc conversion with a t case brake like mine !
