I have been working on my father in laws 175 brakes. They are shot! I ordered new bands and the discs from a online source. The bands went on fine but the discs, the rivets are to short. There is a steel plate that was between the old disc an the drum on both sides. My parts book doesn't show them but they was on the an as far as we know nobody has ever been into the brakes before. Also one disc the rivet head isn't countersunk very deep. So do the plates belong in there? Do I just need to send these discs back an get some from a AC dealer? The rivets that came with these are 1/2 inch long. Would need 3/4 inch to have enough to hold good. This is my first AC to tear into the brakes on so any friendly advice will be greatly appreciated.
