OK, found a picture of the kit I was referring to. Not sure if this is what the OP was talking about or not. As you can see, if the brakes were not kept adjusted it could go over center and lock up your front brakes.
Nothing like Flat Head Ted's.
"It includes both equalizers, two brake pins which are needed because they are 1/4 inch shorter than stock, and two plugs for the holes left when the brake wedge is removed from the backing plates."
