As above

I've found out what the grinding noise on my back end is 

Both of the nails that secure the shoe to the backplate have poped out and destroyed both nail / springs 

Where is the best place to get a pair (vauxhall or local  factors) ?
Approx how much ?
Can you buy the backplate and is it easy to change or am I going to have to bodge / weld the little buggers in

I had the same problem. I ended up getting a pair off a donor car. The problem I had was noone wanted to take them off a breaking car because it is quite a big job.
Also when I fitted them I had to replace the bearings too as it pulled them apparat removing the old ones.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago. I did a "bodge" by using new pins, and fitting cupped washers behind the backplate, after grinding off one side, (so they are slightly "D"" shaped). Although I don't normally recommend bodges, it worked perfectly, and they are still there two years later.

Scraped the rust of the backplate.
Bit of manipulation with a screwdriver to make the hole look something like.
A nail kit with new nails and springs and a tube of Plastic Padding's Chemical Metal 

Worked a treat 

Thanks all
