Duralast 331 Brake shoes 10" x 1.75" Don't Work

[LivewireBlanco]

I bought two different sets of brake shoes from Autozone for my 10" x 1.75" rear brakes, part #331, and neither of them had the holes for the lower return spring drilled in them. I took both back and had to order from O'Reilly's. Hopefully those are made correctly. Just giving ya'll a heads up.

I was so ready this past weekend to finish my rear end swap but nope...

Couldn't you of at least drilled a hole, and made it to work?
Sounds easy enough to do, by just drilling a hole?

My bit wasn't cutting it and I thought that one set was defective but when the second set came like that I knew they had a problem. If it was the only set of shoes I could get I would've drilled but I would've needed a new bit or a drill press. Either way I just decided to let yall know to save some people a little trouble. Hopefully they fix the problem.
