Where to buy fuse box and handbrake shoes?

Post by slipslide »

Hi all
I was just hoping for a bit of help. I have a 1967 912 that I need to source a new fuse box for and a set of handbrake shoes, does anyone know where to pick them up from? Preferably at a reasonable price.
Are the pre 68 shoes different from the pre 84 one as some adverts say 65-68 and 69-84 and then some say 65-84. Would I be better to reshoe my old ones? Any recommendations as to where and how much.
Many thank for all your help

I generally get my bits from Roger Bray. They have a good stock of standard stuff and are a good resource for tracking down used / NOS bits

Thanks for the reply. I have spoken to Roger Bray and they reline the shoes but by the time I send them to him and then pay to get them back then it works out to long in time and a fairly expensive process.

Thanks for the help, glad to say that I got myself sorted. I nice gentleman in Birmingham has organised the shoes for me and I found a fusebox on eBay for reasonable money.
Thank again until the next assembly crisis :).
