Sound right? Yes, that sounds right. The parking brake bar gets installed differently on the 2 sides, because they didn't make mirror image bars. What you did was allow the shoes to get centered. You may still need to check the angle of the notches in the adjusters. This is important, so don't put it off. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
