Looking for some advice on the brakes. I’m not very impressed with Kanter customer service so far.

For the rear wheel cylinders, they said they replaced the rear with the same for the front and you should re-use the thread adapter that is already on the car. I have no such adapters on my car. The rear wheel cylinders were 7/126-24 per Packard’s part list. They also never indicated anywhere that adapters would be needed. They “might’ send those to me. If not, does anyone know where I can get them. I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find them.

For the missing shoe springs, the response was “our kits don’t include those”. No kidding. But, when selling the kit, the claim is that all hardware is included. Again, they may send them if they have them, but likely I will need to reuse what I have.

The parts list shows different Primary and Seconday. Springs. The kit comes with the same spring for both (heavy duty one). They said that’s what I should use. Is that okay or should I have a lighter weight spring for the Secondary?
