Default Handbrake shoe fitting kit for r180 hubs

Hi all,
I have a pair of r180 rear hubs with two pot Subaru calipers.
My question is will the shoe fittings be the same as r160 hubs?
Reason why is that my rally car has a hydraulic hand brake and the previous owner removed all the gubbings.
So now on the hunt to replace what's missing. If anyone has any I'm willing to buy them.
Cheers

No they don't fit. Shoes are bigger on the r180's

Thought only Brembos fit the r180 hubs.

No the classic version 4 & 5 type R had 180 rear hubs as well , the brembos fit straight on as they use the same handbrake shoes

Thanks for replys. I know the shoes are different but I'm talking about the fittings ie the springs and adjusting mechanism.

No they also differ. I had to order some replacement parts direct from subaru for my shoe kit as the adjuster was fooked and when looking at the listings they showed 2 separate part numbers. Springs and pins you may get away with.
