I have just seen it. The caliper backplate attachment plate for the handbrake has corroded to the point that the attachment plate has disintegrated.

Have you got any pics Alastair ? If it's the part I'm thinking of I think you have to buy a complete backplate...Now RS2'less

Was it these bits ? Mine were corroded too & floating about inside the handbrake drums but following advise from Kim Collins @ QST my mechanic left mine off. Handbrake works OK without them.Now RS2'less
