List,

 

I was at a local O'Reilly auto parts store last week and checked to see if
they handled rear brake shoes for my new 68. They did offer them so I
purchased a set. When they arrived I discovered that they were about 7" in
diameter (ours are 9"). I returned them and the manager ordered every set he
could to see which ones may fit. We did find a match which listed as fitting
a 1968 to 1977 Datsun. Their computer shows that part number 371 fits
SPL311. That's wrong. The correct part number is 359. Hoping this will keep
anyone from making three extra trips to the auto parts store.

P.S. They were $17.00 a set.
