Bought some KGPR front shoes for that are noticeably wider than the original set I was about to take off. The drum looked to match the original shoes.

My Ghia is 1468477xx making it a 66. Its a one previous owner and sits at about 81k miles so I'm thinking these are original.

The new shoes are 41mm wide and are marked by KGPR as 65>66 shoes. Do I need earlier ones? Or does someone recognise what I've got here?

Thx,

Al

I've had this happen, too. Call KGPR and tell him you need the narrow 66-67 shoes instead. They have them; I just got a set a couple of months ago. I bought two sets so I wouldn't have the hassle of locating a set when I really, really needed them.
