Ok..SO yesterday I started a thread on whether it worth it or not to repair the front brakes on my BR and how riders used them. Lots of great feedback which made me decide to try to find parts and make them operational. Tonight (has become an almost daily ritual) pulled the BR out to take it for few circuits around the yard. Rear brakes locked up on me as i pushed out(didn't get reverse working yet either). Rocked it a little and it broke loose. After a few laps hit foot brake and felt and heard "snapping":( As you can see by the pic the brake line detached from the bracket and fell to the floor as I removed the drum. Obviously I gonna replace the lining and the seals (both front & rear after seeing this on rear) is there anything else I should check or replace while I have it torn down. Any brands of lining recommended or on the other hand to stay away from? Also is there a reasonable place on line to do one stop shopping that anyone uses?
