Would anyone have some pictures of a Lockheed front brake system? I forgot to get a picture of the brake-backing plate from behind or one from the front with the shoes and grease catcher removed. I took a lot of pictures but missed these spots. Moreover, when I tried to find a picture anywhere there were none I could find.

The bolting back up for the brake-backing plate is probably straight forward, but I would like a picture to be sure.

Thank you Steve
 
Let me know if the areas you need are too dark and I'll lighten them up before attaching:

By the way, I've read several posts bagging on the TR2 drum brakes. I found the TR2 drums to be a better feel on the street than that later discs. The discs need to drag to prevent pedal drop, which is not the case with the drums, which roll without drag. They stop straight with less pedal force and no overheating on the street. Maybe the discs do better on the track, but I wouldn't know. I loved them on Texas freeways over 100MPH, though.
