Rear Brakes

[tony barnhill]

Building them for my '63 Midget....does anybody have a good photo of what they should look like when finished...I can't understand how the shoe return spring goes on & the Bentley manual's not real clear!

Is this any help? From the Haynes manual.

 

[tony barnhill]

Yep, Steve, that helps...does this look right?

hmmmm...why won't photos work?

[tony barnhill]

Well, it won't work for me!

You look at it & tell me what's wrong.....

This picture helped me more than anything I was able to find. Those rear brakes were the craziest things in the world. I could not, for the life of me, figure out how they were supposed to go on without a pic. I love this place!!

I'm looking into it. But Tony you are linking to a remote URL - those other guys are uploading image from their computer as ATTACHMENT.

Change the suffix to lower case jpg

And I always preview before posting

It's not just you Tony. For some reason links are not hypering.

 

[tony barnhill]

I've always done it that way....

& can do it with this photo:

But not this photo:

& there's no difference...if I do this:

https://www.theautoist.com/LRear_Brakes.JPG

& you click on the link, you go to the photo!

Oops! Looks like you followed a bad link.
If you think this

But this one does:

But this one for the photo alone doesn't work:

unless you remove the "?v=0"

 

[healeyboz]

Weird. Anyhow. It looks like you got your brakes together correctly.

 

[healeyboz]

Try this one.

Yes, the Unix server cares about case! What is the actual file extension on your picture? Is it .jpg or .JPG ...there is a difference.

Must be hard to walk! :lol:

html is not case sensitive but many servers using unix or linux are case sensitive.

Hey Basil! Haven't heard from you in awhile!
