The "spreader bars"/shoe struts look the same as the original that I still have, but I'll measure carefully next time. The shoes definitely don't make full, even contact, and while bedding them in helped a bit, it's still not enough. I'd be happy if the parking brakes hold the parked vehicle securely on an incline. At 1200 RPM right now the parking brakes have zero chance of having any effect. It's a coin toss if it can even prevent rolling at idle. | |
