Ordered these brake shoes from GSF for my 71 bay http://www.gsfcarparts.com/631vg0070" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, the first thing it says at the top of the page is "this part fits your vehicle". So I bought them only to scroll to the bottom where it says "Set of 4 rear Brake Shoes for Vans 1972 to mid 1973 only to chassis number 2132102496. When fitting these brake shoes"

I'm just wondering if these will fit or not before I take them back.
 
Those wont fit, you need:

Woah woah. Are you saying that GSF supplied the wrong parts?


B...b...b....but that's IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

haha! thanks guys, ended up getting the correct shoes but I think I'm done with GSF, so far I've had new track rod and a drag link rubbers perish in the space of a month, wrong brake shoes and now wrong front hub seals and rear brake cylinders. My brother was also given the wrong water pump for his mk2 polo.

I'm a sucker for the 35% off they always seem to have on now, but it's just false economy when your whole weekend is wasted on working with wrong parts
