I have had new drums and shoes fitted to my Doblo 1.9 multi,however the garage now informs that I possibly need new brake shoe adjusters costing £200! Does anyone know were I get a pair at a better price? The handbrake pulls right to the top and I need to pump the brakes to get a firm pedal,any advice would be welcome.
 
Somebody help me out here, what is so unique about the adjusters on a dobbin?
I've looked at the shoes & they seem very similar to most other shoes I've replaced & the adjusters have all looked and operated in very much the same way - not the sort of thing that ever wears out?

Not the dobbin but this is the setup on every car I've ever worked on.
