Do any OEM brake co's do a different version
Good idea on riveting John, I wonder if any of the numerous brake friction parts manufacturers would do an improved version with additional riveting?
Sounds like it would be a very sensible thing to fit, is it possible to get the handbrake shoes from any other sources than volvo orig parts? Found this link which gives some others experience of the S60/V70 handbrake (http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/po...ex.htm?t=38755) http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/po...ex.htm?t=38755 Last edited by Thassos; Feb 1st, 2011 at 08:45.

Update!
All is done, needed a new fitting kit too in the end. So my friend only charged me 4 hours labour, saved me a few bob. £175 labour, £614 for parts, this includes the front brake pads being replaced and an MOT at £25. £789 in total! Moral of the story, Go for VAG! Only kidding, real moral, the brake shoe's disintergrating are a bugger, worth a check!!! Glass of red wine I think, Thankyou for the input and help gents, Always appreciated, one day I will post a positive thread, I'm determined! Off to the desert for a few months so will be absent for a while depending on internet access out there, enjoy our beautiful british spring on my behalf! Neil

Dont forget ..
Hi Hunty,
Dont forget to try some regular rolling handbrake usage, youll be surprised in the difference to the noise if its been standing a few days, and as darryl says keep safe on your travels & good luck.. probably best to pack some rear brake shoes incase you come across some dodgey V70s! |

Just replaced the handbrake shoe's today after handbrake had been sticking on after sitting overnight and an unhealthy scrapping noise when handbrake was applied when rolling at walking pace.
Fairly easy job to do with no problem areas. I was expecting to see linings that would have been seperating from the metal shoe but when stripped down everything was ok with no sign of lining seperation. Replaced them anyway so should sleep easy tonight. |

Thanks gents. More iffy for others out there. If the locals out there have v70's I would be most surprised and cautious! But will definately tell them of the brake shoes issues!

Having read this thread paranoia set in so took the car up to my local main dealer who offered to look at the shoes FOC (which was really good considering the time that needed to be spent to get the discs off. ) As soon as we did we found the shoes were delaminating so now new shoes, slight dent in wallet but much peace of mind!

Not sure if I agree with the witch hunt of non riveted shoes. Last time I checked some helicopter rotors are glued together.
