    Default Rear drums, is this right?? With pic



    Never done rear shoes & bearings this is my first attempt just wondering if I've done it right? If not has anyone got a pic or can point me in the right direction. Thanks

    Looks about right. I would be more concerned about the big hole in the inner arch going into the chassis leg.

    Bought the car for £50 with nothing on it. Just re doing all the brakes inc copper lines. Has a few holes going to be doing welding soon.

    The bottom spring needs to be levered over the lip below it. So it sits right at the bottom of the backing plate.

    Thanks for pointing that out I shall do this. Bit of a long project this one. I've replaced everything on it just needs welding and re spray. Hopefully will do a build thread soon 🏻
