strange that no one comments on This but here is what i think will be the future.
Basically caps and wires will become unoptanium for daily drivers like a 4a-fe hence the mods already going on now.
Anyhow i just got rear brake shoes for my mb140 mercedes . When i got the van in 2010 you could not get parts. and the shoes in there are from a ford Granada and i modified the cilinders as you back then also could not get any of them . Now parts are more available since china makes the van under the name maxus LDV . So i almost did order shoes from korea from the site someone posted for cheap Korean car parts.
Anyhow back to the story in 2010 i got a set of brakes for the mercedes mb 100 , But the mb 100 from germany is complete different with a tini engine and different brake shoes= The problems i had to find parts resulting in other car makes shoes that where identical fitted and machined the pistons on cilinders to work .
Anyhow fast forward to now Supplier told me cant get then 3 day later rings me we can get them So i said ok ship order. Today they turn up stating mrecedes mb100 and hiunday H100. So thats good to know that the h100 has the same shoes who originated from the ford Granada . dont know if others have the same shoes as well They work good for drum shoes and are easy to fit no nightmare stuff like on some on my mb140 mercedes aka istana Sangyoung .

Must be in Australia as pretty much all of those old Toyotas have rusted out by now. Even was a big problem about 15-20 years ago when they were still common and popular with the Boy Racers.

Those were the days.
