Well, I picked this spectacular example from Johan, Mike and Lou a good couple of months ago. 1983 110, original (although had a respray a couple of years back).

It spent time in Africa and in France... where Impressive to me, the little 2.25 liter petrol could apparently pull this boat! (Not my boat, or my lovely cottage in France - a picture Johan sent me from the previous owner).

New set. Must be genuine. Aftermarket ones are made from cheese.

It is early in the morning and I might not be seeing correctly, but you might have both leading shoes on one side and both trailing on the other. Worth checking.

Thanks VERY much. I just put them back on the same way they came off (but who knows if that was correct). Both shoes looked identical to me, so I figured maybe leading/trailing wasn’t a thing anymore🤦🏼‍♂️

The only difference in the shoes (that you buy these days) is the location of the adjuster pin. The friction material location is the same. If you get them in wrong, then the adjusters don't work correctly.
