Can you comment on the use of your idea with the 130i/135 shoe carier back plate to make the Handbrake work on 128i/125i for these rear perf brakes. Is it possible for 130i plate to be cut up and used to make 135i brake shoes fit?

The 128i shoes are smaller in diameter. Otherwise everything bolts on (caliper & rotor).
The proper fix requires 135i knuckle with 135i back plate and Hub and 135i hand brake shoes.

Some one on e90post has made e90 work using cusom expanded brake shoes instea of the whole back plate/knucle approach
