1967 Drum Brake question

Does anyone have a diagram of the rear brakes on a 67 10 bolt (or a picture or link to a site)? I bought a rear end with the parts in a bucket, so I want to make sure I put it back together correctly. Thanks.

this is kinda generic but should work for ya...

Do you have a pic of the rear brakes? I can match up some, but am not sure about the e-brake mechanism. Also, the kit I got has 2 small blue springs and 2 larger green springs for the hold-downs. Am I right in assuming that the blue ones go on the side with the star adjuster mechanism (Pawl)?

this is all i have... BUT, if i'm not mistaken, member "NovatoriusWrecks" has a page on his website that shows the brakes... search his user name and click on his web site... lotsa info there for ya ;)

Thanks for the plug Johnny. :D

I was about to give up and say that I didn't have any shots of the completed rear brakes, but I did managed to dig one up. They're almost identical to the front brakes. The only difference is the e-brake bar that has a small spring on one end. You can see it clearly in this pic:

This is a very early pic, and if I remember correctly, I had the adjusters installed backwards. I flipped everything around before calling it done and had it double-checked by a professional. :o

Here's a shot of the driver's site up front, showing the proper positioning of the adjuster.

In order to make my site easier to search, I'm completely rebuilding it. It should be done in a month or two.

The pics will help a bunch when I go to assemble the brakes later this week. Of course the only pitfall to looking at your site with all of the pictures is that now I want to coat everything on my car in POR-15! I was planning on using it for the underside, the rear end, and the front sub-frame and then using a brushable truck bed liner (rubberized) for the interior floor pan to keep the noise down. After seeing the pics though, I am seriously considering using it on the interior floor too.

Unless your car is rusty, don't follow my path and use the Black POR15 on relatively fresh metal. It won't stick as nicely as it should. Using a POR15 primer (the gray POR15 stuff if I remember correctly) would probably work much better than laying the black stuff down as the first coat.

It's still sticking OK, but it doesn't take much of a scrape to lift some of it up.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions about anything you see on my website. :)
