Thanks Jon,
I do know the linings do need replacing. When I acquired the car I had it checked over by a friend who owns a local indi, and services old cars.
He advised that the linings were OK for a while but should be replaced over the winter. He also found this part of the handbrake mechanism was cracked, so that was welded and ground.
