You shouldn't need those parts. Those parts are provided in case the new
rear shoes did not have the levers installed already for the parking
brake cables. Those parts are then used to attach your old levers to the
new shoes. I have not seen any Vanagon rear shoes that came without
levers for a long time, if ever. Older VW vans I have owned, sure.
