Well, I guess I'm feeling more generous. Here's the other schematic: http://www.fordification.com/tech/image ... ont_01.jpg They are found under the Tech/Tutorials link at the top of the forums' pages.

There's only two hardware options. It depends on what size drums, shoes and backing plate you have. Get the correct shoes and hardware for the size. The adjuster kits come separate. Oops, that's what Sargent said... :yt:

see that diagram doesnt even match the hardware kit with the straight pins,they both show a spring that goes across the top from one shoe to another, but only one hardware kit shows that

yet still NONE of this works, because Like I said before, Measuring isn't going to do anything when I know what size they are, and still don't know the spring placement, when none of the diagrams match up to the kit available

I kindly ask that we please do not post profanity, as well as name calling, and can we all be adults and not get our danders up.
Thanks, John
