| Mintex EPB shoes not fitting? |
|
Ive done one side of the D3 today, but had to modify the Mintex shoes in order for them to fit.
The actuator side, with the arm which the brake cable attaches to has a hole in the attachment which is too small.
Struggling to fit the cable nipple through i checked the size of the nipple with a vernier. It measures 7.05mm
The hole in the original brake shoe we removed measures 8mm wide, and bigger obviously in height.
The hole in the NEW mintex shoe, measures 6.45mm wide!!!
Square peg round hole?.?
Calling JGS who sold me the kit showed they have more Mintex kits, with the same hole.
However, checking the landrover supplied kit, the hole measures just over 8mm!!
I managed to set the shoe up ln a mill and run an 8mm cutter through the hole, so i was able to fit them. But unless you had that, these are no good whatsoever.
Now wether its just a batch issue of the ones JGS have, i dont know.
