helps keep road splash out. Perfect use of silicone in lieu of a gasket

well to be honest, it serve no real service!!
the whole drum is open around the shoes, but if youre car is oe car show inspected , it needs those
It is? There is a lip that stops water splash from entering unless you submerge the drum. Drum brakes dont like water. This is why there is a gasket and plug for the adjuster.
I would advise using somethign to seal it.

Thanks
I dont have new gaskets and wanted to put the brakes back together. I will just use a small bead of silicone. My car is definitely NOT a trailer queen!!!
That's fine and will do. Adjusters freeze up too soon as it is...keep as much water out of there as you can.
I just took a set apart that was so bad I chucked the whole backplate with everything on it in one piece.
