TR2/3/3A Needs Picture of Rear TR3A Brake Assembly Drum Off

Does anyone have a picture the rear brake back plate with the brake assembly attached and the drum off? I installed the back plates wrong years ago when I changed out the diff and I want to get my park brake cables aligned properly so I can use it.I need to see how the adjuster assembly and wheel cylinder assembly are orientated. Specify left or right side as I sometime go dyslexic. :smile: The manual dosn't really show this clearly and everyone with a 3 here still has it in storage so I can't take a look. THX Karl

Here's one of mine (56 TR3). Both rear drums are off right now so let me know if you want any more pics. Cheers, Mike

Yup. Now we just need to see all the variations of the Girling setup (like coil hold-down springs, or no hold-down springs at all) :laugh:

Here is mine from my 1958 TR3A (TS 27489 LO) which came with and still has 10" drums. Mine never had any hole-down (retainer) clips. This would be closest to Mike's TR3.

BTW, the backing plates for the shoes are the original ones that I had re-lined locally in 1990 and they are still not worn any more than shown with 105,000 miles since then.
