Any brake shop would be able to re line your shoes and even bond oversize linings if required. As for the spring use Google to source a local spring manufacturer in the UK. One will turn up and you will be good to go.
I haven't seen a brake drum used as a clutch system before, even in the vintage tractors that we have.

Has anyone a picture of the clutch arm that fits into the thrust bearing .This is what's on mine when i bought it . It's a home made plug welded onto the arm is it right or wrong as i cant find a reference to the clutch arm on the net. Thanks again for your input Paul

Hi guys how on earth do you unscrew the conical nut? There's no head on it. Currently soaking in WD thinking I might have to grind flats on the head to grip?
