Has anyone fitted e46/36 M3 rear brakes to an e30 M3 ?
I believe the handbrake shoes / drum are a different size and I presume an adaptor bracket would be required ?

i had a little look into this keith...only briefly though...
as you say, the handbrake is a different diameter.
i've seen this overcome with either a modification to the shoes (extending the mounting holes)
or
having a sleeve fitted to the inside of the existing e36/e46 handbrake drum...
