Default C15 brakes

The brakes on my C15 are slow to come on and to release, although they do work. I'm assuming weak springs and possible contamination from a leaking axle seal and/or wheel cylinder (the master cylinder needs topping up every now and then), . I'd like to assemble all the parts before commencing the work so this means new bearings (possibly), axle seals, wheel cylinders, springs, shoes etc. I remember a previous thread discussing brake parts so I'm hoping some of the parts are still available NOS. Anybody know of parts numbers and places to find these parts? Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks, Derek

P.S.
Question: How many tools does it take to remove a 60 year tyre from a rusty old rim?

Answer: 14! Air compressor, impact wrench, socket, Blow torch, pry bar, Grinder, hammer, cold chisel, extension cord, reciprocating saw, sledge hammer, cheater bar, water pump pliers, and a knife

Doncha just love R.O.T.'s!
