e-brake question

[Konstantin Bogach]

EPM(www.epm.com) sells them for $9 each, 12 in a pack, 1 pack minimum.
This is double lip, 16x24x07mm.  Not that cheap.  I thought about buying
it, use/keep 4 and have the rest for other listers who needs it.
Tomorrow I will try local bearing dealers. By the way, EPM has 16x24x04
cheaper and 4 in a pack. Will it work?
