Sub standard Fulvia S2 handbrake shoe retaining parts

[lancialulu]

Just a heads up

while investigating why a  friends Fulvia handbrake was not working properly it became apparent that among all the new parts recently fitted item 4 (see photo) was zinc yellow plated mild steel which bends easily.

The correct material is spring steel. The ones fitted allowed the shoes to fold in effectively being un-adjustable so not working properly.

Not sure where the source of these Chinese parts are from but Omicron has the correct parts
