I bought a set of brake shoes on eBay advertised as suitable for Commer PB fronts, but in fact LDV (Sherpa) rears. The price was really good at £25 a set, and a genuine AP product. It wasn't till I had fitted them that I found out that the bottom spring hole was different, but everything else similar.

The one on the left is the new one. You can see I've drilled a second hole at the bottom to match the original Commer shoe.
All fitted and working fine. In fact I've ordered a second set for next time.
Just a heads up. If you're happy to drill an extra hole these Sherpa shoes are fine.

Hi colin , what year is the van u put them on? I am looking for some for a 61 commer fc pb ,
 
Sorry no. If you can't find any there are places where you can get your originals re-lined, might be worth a Google.
 
Just been reading colinthefox post about matching front brake shoes, does anyone know if any common vehicles use shoes that match my Dodge rears ?.
