now that you have given me a name, it was the Meyle unit i got from
speedway. they did have the internal springs, and a fair price too.

PS previous owner has said (no receipts to prove) that van had rear
brake work done in the last few years. but soon after i got the van
the right rear cyl was leaking. no prob there, but god almighty, was
the drum ever a bear to get off hub. stickiest one I have ever
encountered.

Neil,

Chris at Speedway (ex-Bowwow for us local folks) would give me either
TRW/Vargas (Brazil) or Meyle (Germany) for $25. I'd have jumped at this,
except that a 2hr return trip today just isn't feasible for me. So
I'll grab
the BeckArnley for today, and drop in ATEs when they arrive. I will
try to
confirm brand of the old cylinder, which according to my very complete
records from the PO, was installed by the dealer in 1993, along with new
drums, shoes, bearings, etc. 17 years is not bad for a van that sits
in the
garage for at least 3 months each year, and has only gone 120k kms in
that
time!
