It is showing as having no items listed. Does anyone know if they have packed up?

If so it's a shame as they had everything!

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 !

Cheers for that chaps. I know their delivery times were slow and I've not used them often but I've found them to be Ok and they have everything you could need. I hope they're back up and running soon.

As for the rear brakes. It has ben suggested to me to make holes in the rear drums and squirt a hose pipe through but you still have to take the wheel off and my drums have been off so often that getting them off is just a simple pull and off they come, so I might aswell take them off and hose them down properly. Also, I want to keep the adjusters from rusting up as much as possible and so squirt off the water with brake cleaner (WD40 doesn't seem like a good idea) and let them dry before pitting the drum back on.

If money was no object I'd have a rear disc conversion and a rock lobster transfer box with a transmission handbrake ... and a roll cage ... and a winch ... and a rear locker with D+G Tuning/Rob Storr hardened shafts and CV's... ... ...

I had already messaged CAM Suzuki and they have now come back to me saying the same as they told Baz2236. They are still operating under their sister company, see:
