Here are standard shoe numbers for Corvairs, courtesy Dave Robertson, 
might help:

Early Vairs use # 189 shoes front and rear. 60 and 61 originally had a 
shoe with reinforcements on the webbing where the shoes rubbed on the 
anchor pin, but the 189 works fine.

Lates use 242d or 245 front and 246 rear.

FCs use 228 front and rear.
