The brake shoes that come in the box will have enough for one axle, which is 4 shoes. If you lay them out and compare the lining on them you will see that two of them will have more linings on them than the other two. The one with the most linings (see attachment of the right rear brake) gets mounted toward the aft side of the axle. Looking back at your original picture of the Left Rear Brake it clearly show the different, aft shoe lining is longer than the front shoe.

Why is that?
In European cars, brake shoes are similar - there is no difference between front and rear on the same axle.
In my box of parts I found another brake cylinder-smaller than the original, but very close (less than 5 mm), but the inlet of the brake line has a smaller diameter, so I have to try to make new brake lines and find an end with the right thread which will not be easy-in the EU we use a different thread pitch. Model is a "profusion awc9026" can you help me with finding brake line inlet diameter?
