Handbrake Brake Shoe Set Delphi for Defender and Discovery 1 Rod Operated Transmission Brake | STC965AP

Delphi handbrake brake shoe set for Defender and Discovery 1 models with rod-operated transmission handbrake systems.

This brake shoe set is designed for the transmission-mounted handbrake fitted to early Land Rover Defender and Discovery 1 models. These vehicles use a drum brake mounted on the transfer box, operated via a rod linkage rather than a direct cable system.

Manufactured by Delphi, a well-established OEM supplier, this kit offers dependable braking performance and consistent quality, making it a strong choice for both daily use and demanding conditions.

Worn or contaminated handbrake shoes can lead to reduced holding ability, poor adjustment and increased lever travel. Replacing the brake shoes helps restore proper handbrake performance and vehicle safety when parked.

Important:
This kit is only suitable for vehicles with rod-operated handbrake linkage. Later models with cable-operated handbrake systems require a different type of brake shoe.
