Paul,
My recommendation is to go for the molded carpet set. I bought a set
from TRF, but I bet they are all sourced from the same manufacturer, so
shop the best price for the molded ones. The set should include
everything you need.
The rear brakes should be adjusted until they bind and then loosened
only until they are free again. Be sure to then depress the brake pedal
to center the shoes and repeat the process.
Regards,
Joe
