For what it's worth, that photo looks to be of a Lockheed brake shoe, not the Girling that your TR4 should have. Compare your picture to the one in the current eBay auction # 270027250468, or to this one at Canley Classics (not TR4, but close enough in this instance).

Andy,
Thanks for your help.
Neither of those are like what I have. I will have to take pictures. The set up I have has the adjuster on the top of the backing plate and the wheel cylinder on the bottom. The e-brake connects to the bottom of the shoes. I have been searching E-Bay hoping to find the parts I need.
I have looked in Moss Motors and is it possible for a TR 7 brakes to be fitted to the TR4?
https://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=33387 looks more like what I have, but not exactly as it has no adjuster on it.

I suppose anything's possible, and I've seen some really creative substitutions over the years. But the presence of an adjuster is a bit puzzling, since the TR7 didn't have them!? According to information I have, the TR7 five-speed and the TR8 had 9" x 1.75" rear brakes, which happens to be the same size as those for the TR4 (although I'm pretty sure all were Lockheed on the "wedges")

I just recieved an email from Moss motors and they looked at the picture and the brakes are from a 1962 thru a 1973 MGB. Are the parts between the to that interchangeable?

I ordered the rear brake parts for a TR8 from a local parts store and the wheel cylinder looks like the right one, but the brake shoes still were not right. Thanks
