i try to help - horse to water and all that

All is not lost,
I've ordered some of the Landy ones, just for fun...

Two Horse Stables were using them back in the early 80s, I seem to recall.

Appreciated. Now we know that the Landy ones are the same as the Retrospec ones, but for a dizzying 5p price difference, I might buy some.

Although they are similar, they are NOT the same.

When I first made up these kits, I tried using some of the components from land rover kits: It is possible to use them, but the spacing is not right. I eventually found that by using a combination of components from different kits, for various vehicles, plus some additional parts from other sources, I was able to supply a kit that fits all of the following drum brakes, by positioning the components differently according to the application:
2CV rear,
2CV (small) front,
Dyane/Ami/AK (large) front,
ID/DS rear.

My kits cost the same as buying all the components of the original type brake adjusters but are far easier to fit, less likely to seize, less likely to round off than the originals and if it's ever necessary to remove/dismantle them, this can be done without destroying them: They are re-usable, unlike the originals. On the front brakes, my adjusters only require the backplates to be loosened for sufficient clearance, not completely removed from the car. (The rears can be done in place whichever type of adjuster you use).
I'm not particularly bothered whether people buy my kits or make do with other options, as it's only just worth me doing these kits for this price and as many of the components are no longer being made, getting hold of enough old stock at a sensible price is getting more and more difficult. If I was to get the components made specially, the price would probably have to be 3-4 times as much. If enough people continue to appreciate them (& buy them!), I will continue to try sourcing the components to make them. If not, I'll just let the stock run down. At the moment I probably have enough stock to keep me going for about a year, (although that will depend on next year's French National, where they sell really well).

Some people might feel it's worth saving a bit* and buying a land rover kit and then calculating and obtaining additional spacers of the correct width to suit the particular brake that you are fitting them to (rear/large front/small front), and that's fine.
*The prices and availability on ebay can vary enormously: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAKE-ADJUSTER-KIT-FOR-SERIES-VEHICLES-WITH-DRUM-BRAKES-/150946398066?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item23251b3f72 !!!, so you might not find them as cheaply as the ebay listing that Sean found, (where they only have a few left).

For those who don't want that hassle and would rather buy the correct parts off the shelf, the alternatives are:
Buy the originals from Roy, (or someone else),
Buy my kits from Roy, (I don't supply them to any other retailer),
Or buy them direct from me, at my retrospecparts website.

I know that some of the established 2CV experts are still happy to continue with the method that they have been successfully using for many years and that's absolutely fine. I felt that there was a market for my kits because not everyone is lucky enough to have the same equipment and experience, and many people would like an easier option. That's probably why Roy, (a very experienced 2CV expert), gave my kits their name: 'Easy-Fit'.

I don't really want to have to mess about making bits fit. That's why I was inclined towards the Retrospec ones in the first place, and why I wasn't quite sure about buying Land Rover ones without knowing the dimensions.

Just noticed the Landy ones are £9.95 for a set of 4 ...

Jolly good!

I thought that you had already made that decision, (thank you ). My posting was more aimed at others who might not have come to the same conclusion yet!
