Starting a brake job on my 1950 3100 with Huck brakes, ordered new hardware kits to replace the worn parts on the truck. The anchor pin locks in the kit do not fit well the opening seems to large for the pin. These kits were purchased from aftermarket source, anyone have similar issues or know were to get locks that fit properly? Thanks.

Different vendors carry different sizes and it is hard sometimes to find the right ones. Sometimes the Filling Station has parts not carried for others.

The anchor pin locks go on loosely, then after placement you flatten them with a few taps with a small hammer. This locks them in place.
