OK, now the pro's can jump in on this one. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | You are right Chipmunk. With self adjusting brakes the front shoe often has taper spring. The secondary shoe Has the bracket under it & has a cup that the spring goes into.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 48 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 48 | So the tapered spring goes on the primary shoe. Thanks for clearing this up for me.
