Any suggestions for a more modern substitute for the Lucas C40

used on Mini A series engines.

be unlikely for him to have a hairy car, but how on earth could ...

Every time I get in the car to drive it, I have to make one push on the
brake pedal to firm the brakes. Not a pump, just one push, as if the shoes
are too far from the drum surface. (I've adjusted the brake shoes properly).
Is this a symptom of oval drums?
