Post by: fccool59 on January 23, 2007, 09:33:59 AM

Here's a picture of my HR brakes, before I changed the cylinders and pads for disc front items. HTH
Large gap before the friction material goes to the front.

Hey Leon.
Here is the pic out of the Gregory's. You should invest the $10 and pick up 1 at the next swap.

I think your cylinders and shoes look to be HD. The HD has short rods coming out of the cylinder with a flat end, while the HR has longer rods with slots that line up with notches in the brake shoe. (see stinky's)

Hope this helps.
Regards
Alex

I am quite sure the HD/HR setups would be the same.
My picture shows the "drum front" rear pads and cylinder, Leon's pics are what mine look like now, with the short rods.
So Leon, as long as you are running discs on the front they should be fine.
