All the  after market companies have the wrong pins and cheap washers in
their kits.  This is one time you should go to the dealer. Best part, the dealer
price for  the kit was ~$18 US last time I bought a bunch.

    OK, gotta jump in here again.  The brake  hardware kit I sell is correct,
I use it all the time without any  problems.  It is imported from Europe by
one of my wholesale  suppliers.  From my _Vanagon Items Forsale_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  webpage  - Brake hardware kit. rear brakes, 6996,
251 698 545  - $23.50.   That's Canadian dollars of course as for those still
in the dark, I'm in CANADA  !
