[QUOTE=njsteve;5503040]I took all the original springs and soaked them in some detergent to get the adbestos dust off them and also scrubbed the original brake shoes as well. I then reinstalled everything today and bled the brakes.
One interesting thing to note about the assembly line installed shoes is how the bonded front shoe is grooved with a 1/2" slot down the center of the lining. The steel portion of the shoe appears to have a green zinc chromate finish on it. (it is kind of hard to tell from the photo since I used a flash when taking the photos).
And with the drums back on. Each drum had two copper Tinnerman clips holding the drum onto the studs. The passenger side drum also had a "GY" sticker on it.
I'll add to some info on original details on the drums. In addition to the tinnerman washers and paper decal on the passenger side, the drums were also partially sprayed black, generally just in the area where they could be seen through the Rally II's, presumably to prevent oxidation showing through while on the showroom floor.
Steve, on yours it looks like they sprayed the entire drum including the axle.
