OK so i have this ongoing saga with my Pads and drum brakes where every time i order them from some supply house using the model year of my Alpine (1962 series 2) i get these shoes and pads that don't resemble anything i have and do not fit.....??????
I have searched online with barely anything resembling them other than some picture and going to the parts page they are completely different ..WHAT GIVES??? am i missing something? they have a tapered front edge if pointing into center of hub. Almost like a wedge shape to them. I hear some talk about using a different set of calipers on the alpine. So is this a thing everyone is doing? or are the pads still available? anyone know? I cant be the only one!.. I have perfectly good rebuilt calipers that have been flawlessly running for years. Am i screwed? (scratching head)??
These pictures show the difference..
