[QUOTE="oexing, post: 120892, member: 1493"] The shoes look great but I see some scope for improvements: The springs look very hard being very short with small diameter of windings. And this at NO use that I could see. I´d move the holes a bit - 1/4" away from shoe ends and go for bigger diameter springs with windings at max. length so hooks can slip into holes - just. It is simply useless to have extra strong springs , a pain to assemble and extra strain on our old hands when applying brakes. Also get stainless springs, no breakages as these are a bit softer material but no problem with this in this application. Overly strong springs are often found in brakes but I just cannot think why this is done , not my thinking for sure. All pull for springs reduces power for hitting brakes by hand strain. Vic [/QUOTE]
