Speaking of things that are new: The brake shoes are new of course..

And you know how there is a "curved slider plate" with a groove for the cable to rest in as it travels from the top pivot down the bracket with the actuator arm?
...Remember how that "curved slider plate" is held by round pin that sits in a hole drilled in the brake shoe's gusset plate?

You put the plate in that hole, then you insert the keeper spring with a hook on the end that holds the place in place...

What if that hole was drilled in the wrong place? ..by whoever produces those shoes. Then the cable could be pulled shorter.

I'll check that.
