Rear Brakes

Hmmm. I tried to put your photo on the wiki and it wouldn't let me. I ask Basil about it after the dust settles from the subscription stuff.
 
Here's a photo of mine (lemme know if I've got 'em right)....passenger side on the left, driver side on the right:

Yep, guess I should'a labeled the photo....passenger side in on the left, driver side on the right.
 
Last note... the rubber seals on the ends of the wheel cylinders seem now to be a pattern part that's thicker than the originals. When you get the axle in, you may find that the protrusions on the back of the hub interfere with the rubber seal, and would rip it. I (and others) had to grind down the shoulders on the rear of the hub, to fix this. YMMV.

BUMP

This thread went all over the place....BUT:

I'm now putting my brakes back on the rear end (out of car) & am trying to remember exactly what goes where....if I put it one way, the bleeder is behind the upright for the bumpstop...but if I put it another way, the park brake is in the wrong place...anybody got a photo of the rear of the brake assembly on the car - driver side?
 
Bleeder down I beleive.
