<VV> Brakes grabbing

[Dennis Pleau]

Each axel set needs to be matched.  The shoes should be out of the same box
and installed at the same time.  Mixing brands could have slightly different
friction material which would cause different rates of braking.

I have another set of shoes that I could put on the passenger side  
front (do they fit on the back also? no mention of this in the '65  
manual, the Basics book, or ...Keep Your Corvair Alive).  Only the  
front driver's shoe has 500 miles on it.  I'm almost 100 percent sure  
that the shoes are installed in the correct order; longer in back,  
shorter to the front on each wheel (although it is not mentioned in  
the '65 manual, the Basics book, or in Finch's book).  There isn't  
any pedal vibration, which at least indicates that the front are not  
warped (according to the Basics book).
