Driver Side Brakes - K30 1978 Dual
I have got the driver's side brakes back together minus the parking brake. Do I have everybody in the right spot? The longest brake pad retaining spring (green) is on the forward shoe, the short one (yellow) is on the trailing shoe.

Thanks - John

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

No, you're missing a bar that goes across like this. Gimme a minute and I'll pull the pictures of mine off my camera.
