Pictures of brakes?

Does anyone out there have some clear pictures of the correct drum brake installation (springs, shoes... ) for both the front and the rear on a 59 Bugeye?

I've looked at the diagrams in the various "normal" publications, but they really do not clearly show spring position and such.

I just want to make sure things are done correctly...

Thanks

Picture of rear brakes HERE

There maybe a picture of fronts too....if you hunt around the site.
 
Took these today of the front brakes, as I am cleaning these up in prep for installation when the car returns from the paint shop. Let me know if you need more pics. I made a series so I could put them back together again.

Thanks for the pictures and link (I have tried to search, but no luck on front brakes...)

So I guess my question is answered... It seems the front brake shoe springs hook into the "outer" holes on the shoes (first picture above at about 4:00 o'clock).

It seems I should have paid attention when I removed them - but then again maybe I did and the PO had them on the inner holes - who knows.

Thanks again.
