Default Re: 1941 Rear Brake Shoes (forward facing shoe shoe vs rear)

It should look as V8 says. On a 40 Ford it looks like:
left front(driver side).... 1st photo
right rear (Pass. side).....2nd photo
left rear (driver side)....3rd photo
On all wheels the big shoe faces forward along with the larger dia. of wheel cylinder.
Be sure to clean all your bottom brass brake adjuster parts and bolts so they turn nice and easy. Take photos first.
The middle photo is tilted because I tilted the camera. In real life, it's level.
