I have been looking for shoes with no luck. I am going to get them re-lined at my local brake place. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 346 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 346 | Previous Post I can't recommend the Dorman wheel cylinders after trying to install them. The mounting bolt holes are misplaced and the bolts can't be tightened up against the backing plate. The other stuff fit perfectly.

So I found AUTOZONE has similar ones, DURALAST item number 33048 and ordered them from there. Fingers crossed those will work. Otherwise I suppose I can just rebuild them.
