Trolleybus Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The question is which bracket goes on what side.I recently found that my adjusting brackets were installed back the front. The larger one in the photo for Brake Shoe Adjuster Kit - AAU8994 on Rimmers web site. Now I think they may also be on the wrong side.The retailers of these don't seem to know what goes where. My books don't cover it as they were a late in range feature. They are marked with the numbers:- 3134-851 which is on the near side on my car and 3134-850 which is on the off side. So! is this correct or were they back the front and arse about?Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hmm... the parts in question don't look like they're handed. I've certainly seen them installed backwards (on three of the four cars I've owned with those brakes) but I don't recall swapping side-to-side. As long as the ratchet teeth are correctly matched and the right way up then it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 on my mk2 i installed stag spreader bars , they are the same but have +15mm on the cable arm makes a wonderful improvement to the handbrake and being so much cheaper than 2000 ones its a easy uplift .if you need new ones Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
