Drum brake instructions for 100/6 or 3000

I have an AH rear end on a Daimler I am rebuilding and am unfamiliar with the rear drum brake setup. It seems similar to the Sunbeam Tiger but not quite the same. I need to re install everything on the back plate (steadying screws, brake adjuster and cylinder with e brake levers), find the correct rebuild kits for the cylinders, find some missing parts (adjuster wedges, e brake levers, rods, swivel and clevis pins and connectors), and verify that I am doing the right things such as applying grease where it belongs, the springs in the correct orientation etc. Can somebody direct me to the pertinent pages of the workshop manual. Thank you.

Hi You will need to know the Healey car model your rear end is from and then consult a PARTS manual for that item. Part numbers do not generally appear in the Workshop Manuals.

How can I tell the model? The mechanic rebuilding the rear end said it was from a late model AH......he thought a 100-6 or 3000. He seemed to indicate they used the same parts. How can I verify for myself what I have. I have the part numbers on the axle housing and the drums.

I'm guessing here, but I think the BN4 had smooth drums and the BN6 onward had ribbed drums.
As I recall Rich Berman's site shows smooth drums. The disc wheel drums are straight across and the wire wheel drums are indented - Moss catalog shows this.
