I think the brake return springs are supposed to go on the other side of the shoes so they pull the shoes towards the backplates.

Naadeslaus, I just want to say how great I think your work is, I am 16 and currently working on my first minor project (Just doing a respray, I can't do all the mechanical bits!) But i really hope that some day I will be able to completely rebuild and restore a minor like you are doing. You're quite an inspiration!

You certainly don't hang around ;-}

Doing a good job, just wish I had the time and space to be able to crack on with my three moggs. I've got to get a move on as I'm going on the MOT next year!!

Keep up the hard work (and the nice photos!)
