I have not actually installed the Bendix shoes I got at Advanced Autos, but
I taped them off (as Art suggested) and placed them in the drums. The
curvature of the shoes match the drums perfectly. I don't expect any
problems
I picked up the rear Bendix rear brake cylinder today over lunch. Box
stamped made in Brazil. It is boxier than the oem (less precision is
casting is what the impression is). I'll install it and see what happens.
I too have bought a number of things from Northwest Import and have been
happy with all products. I was anxious to get the brake cylinder and get it
back on the car. It normally takes 4-5 days for parts to come from
Northwest Import which is pretty quick, but being spoiled on getting parts
the day I need them, being only 20 miles from TRF I opted to try the Bendix
route from the auto parts.
