[Patten Del R Civ AFRL/PKMA]

  The last set of shoes I got from Clarks or Lon's (can't remember who) AND
from NAPA were all the same length.

Folks: I guess I'm gonna' be the odd-man-out on this thread;'cause I've run
equal-full length on cars several times with NO detrimetal effects and it
gives an opportunity to even swap the  Pri to Sec after the Pri are worn to
about 1/16---the Sec are still almost like new. And ,yes they fit. No flames
on this-it's past history ;again ,I saw NO negative effect - to each his
own----...    Dewey
