Hi folks,

        My breaks were done by a local independent shop.  they mean well but I've found many small problems in the past with work done.

My front breaks were done about 2,000 miles ago.  about 700 miles ago they started to squeal a little.  Now they  squeal a lot!  It is to the point that it is uncomfortable to be in the van. The breaks however seem to be working fine.

        Folks at Transporter Fest recommended that I purchase the  front break shims that go between the pads and  calipers.  They suspect the old ones were tossed out with the old pads. 

        I've called a few venders and no one has them available.  Anyone know where I can get them?

        These breaks are so loud my main van driver, girlfriend Heidi, is avoiding the van!  Not a good situation.

Help is appreciated!
