>I need to replace my rear 10 inch Girling rear brakes on my 59 TR3. I
almost died when I saw the prices: $199 from Moss and $110 from VB (VB is
charging $65 for the core) this is especially disheartening when you
consider the 9 inch brakes are $21. I know I'm going to pay a premium for
44 year old parts, but this is ridiculous.

Jack, I assume you are talking about the shoes. I had my 10 inch shoes
relined by a local shop that does industrial brake relining for $12/shoe,
$48/axle. It took a couple of days. I suggest you check the yellow pages
for brakes and see if you have such a service in your area. If not, drop
me a line and I can give you the name of my guy.
