I recently bought a set of rear brake shoes for my Viva HC L 1979. When I tried to fit them at the weekend I found there to be some differences to the ones fitted. The new brake shoes seemed to be missing two holes which take the c-clips that come through at the top and middle of the front side brake shoe.(see first image) Not sure what this is for.
Does this mean I have the totally wrong brake shoes for my car?? They were sold as correct for my model viva. (Second image of the new brake shoe)
Also the slave cylinders on both sides of the car aren’t moving when I push the brake lever. Is this them seized up? I have bled the brakes but still no movement in the cylinders.
Thanks in advance for your help
