   1.1 brake shoes normally git the 1.1 Saxo.
   
   I swear one day some one will actually do something for them self and pick up a phone to a parts shop.

   Well I got a set of minted ones and they don't fit and apparently there's 3 different types

   Didn't you think to ring the supplier up with your chassis number to make sure you got the correct fitment?

   I brought them off eBay didn't know there was different types just thought all 1.1 shows were the same. So what ones do I need

   IIRC there are different types fitted to 3 and 4 stud drums!

   You need the ones that are the same as what is fitted to your car at the moment. Without wanting to offend, you physically have the car with you so are best placed to check as opposed to us who are at the other end of a computer terminal without any access to your car.
   
   Maybe if you take a photo of the ones you have fitted and take that to a motorfactor they'll be able to get the right ones but I personally find there is no substitute for walkinginto your motorfactor with the worn part in your hand so you can directly compare it and see if it's definitely the same or not.
   
   I've personally found on the Saxo it's worth getting a fitting kit whilst you are there.
