I ordered rebuild kits for the front drums on the 69 rr. It came with extra parts. Should I install just what the brake/ drum had ? Any pics of completed layout/ drum laying around so I can see wheat it should be. Thanks -

Maybe the self adjuster parts? Most likely but we need pictures

All looks good in the pic. that blue one is a return spring. they (2 of em) go from the upper part of the shoe web at a ~45 deg angle up to the anchor at 12 O clock. One extra got thrown in by mistake, possibly one for another app?. I'm assuming you got (4) in your kit.

I got 8 springs in the kit. 4 browns which I used two at the top of the shoes, 2 green, which you see in the pictures, and then 2 of these stubby blue ones - the browns looked pretty much the same

I just did the 10 inch brakes on the wagon and I put a "disc" under the silver spring on either side of the shoes - the first springs you connect with the pin through the backing plate. This kit didn't have those - so I have the spring touching the shoe. is that acceptable ?

Also - the oval plate that you put on the top post - which then the adjuster goes over - and then the springs - I had 2 types - the ones I used you can see, and larger ones - does it matter ?

Are the last 2 pictures the same or both sides, if both sides you have the brake shoes on backwards
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Right, adjusters to the rear, short shoes to front.
Just looks like a double post to me.
