Default Hand brake service

Decided to service the hand brake today as it was stuck on.
But ended up stripping the lot. Had to replace the complete back plate assy as the centre had rusted out, and hub because the magnetic strip looked damaged by rust and it fell apart on removal.
Might do the abs sensor if i have any.

DMGRS and flea bay. I would use Rimmers but they are grossly expensive .
DNGRS for the complete back plate assy.
Fleabay for the other stuff (pads, hand brake cable, wheel hubs and nuts etc)
Get some copper slip to use on the hand brake cable sleeve and the mechanism on the back plate .

Got X2 Rimmer assy's on the bay for £100. That included the pads and mechanisms. Worth keeping an eye out.
