Question:

I bought a decommisioned uhaul car hauler. I dont know who built it or any info on the brake parts. I do know it s 12x2 hub with hydraulic shoe brakes. I managed to get the right wheel cylinders but in the process of reassembly broke a shoe centering spring. Studying everything I could find on line I bought a Redline BP07-105 and found it was approximately 1 too short. My old spring is 5.5 inches long. Is this enough information for you to tell me what spring I need and do you have one? Any help is appreciated. Thx. Mike

Thanks for the information!

It sounds like you're looking for the # BP07-175 which measures in at 5-3/8" which should be perfect for your 12" x 2" Hydraulic brakes. Since your old string probably stretched a little bit, this will be a perfect fit.
