New Brakes for EK

Hello,

I bought an EK a few weeks ago to sit beside my HT, so only new here. I took it to exhaust place to fix the exhaust and asked if he could look at my brakes. My knowledge for brakes goes to adjusting them only. He said they're stuffed. New cylinders, shoes, drums, etc. Fluid leaked everywhere for a long time. Apparently, everything except drums can be purchased new. Can anyone tell me where I can get brake drums from? Is it easy to convert to something else. I'm not fussed with having disc brakes etc but is that what I need to do? Is there somewhere in Melbourne I can take it too? I am in S.E.
Please help.
John B

G'day John, welcome to the forum mate , are the drums beyond machining ? It shouldnt be TOO hard finding a set of skimmable ones in Melbourne , you have come to the right place to find some :thumbsup:

Thanks Blacky. Not sure if they're beyond machining. Bloke told me they were stuffed because they had soaked in brake fluid too long.
