Default brake shoe adjuster dating?


Does anyone know if this ink stamp is related to date coding?

Julian or week and year?

Has anyone else found this?

I'd just about guarantee it's the day of the year. My car was final assemble August 22. My lever is stamped 232 or August 20. Here's what mine looks like.

020 = Jan 20th or the 20th day of the year

232 = August 20th or the 232nd day of the year in a non leap year.
