Compatibility and Fitment

Confirm your drum size and shoe width match 12.25in x7.5in before ordering. Then check the shoe table, roller, and hardware style so the set installs cleanly and adjusts correctly. If any measurements differ, choose the correct pattern instead.

Compliance and Safety

Brake friction components are safety critical, so inspect drums, rollers, and cams during replacement. Follow the axle or brake manufacturer service procedure and torque settings for your specific assembly. Bed in new friction material gradually to stabilise friction and reduce hot spotting. Confirm brake balance and adjustment before returning the vehicle to service.
