On offer is a set of new old stock rear brake shoes, they are manufactured by CBS auto parts and marked up as Box 108. They are listed as suitable for; the Opel Manta A, Opel Ascona A, Opel Kadett B, Opel Rekord C, Opel Commodore A and even the Opel Olympia. Although not listed, I can see no reason why the Opel GT isn't included, as it used the same rear axle as the other cars shown above.
Here is a full list of potential applications as shown on the label:
Opel Kadett 1700 1967-71
Opel Kadett Rallye 1900S 1967-
Opel Olympia 1500, 1700, 1900 1967-
Opel Rekord 1500, 1700, 1900, 2200 1965-71
Opel Rekord Sprint 1964-69
Opel Ascona 1200, 16-19, S, SR 1971-
Opel Manta 1971-
Opel Commodore 2200, 2500, GS, GSE 1967-
It is important to note that these parts have a folded section to mate with the handbrake cable and not the hook used on many of the later models. Do make sure that your vehicle has the correct hand brake cable to match, which I believe has ball ends.
Unlike the modern equivalents these vintage items normally have a softer compound, which provides great stopping power and doesn't wear your brake drums out so rapidly. Avoid costly MOT failures and restore your vehicle to the way it was when it was new. These are now hard to find items, with just a handful of sets left in stock and I will not be replacing them, so don't hang about if this is what you need for your project.
The asking price is just £20 which even includes delivery within the UK. I can send to some European locations too, but please ask for a quote first.
