Thanks Mal, there's no hiding from you by the look of it. That photo was taken the week before I decided to repack the wheel bearings, which ultimately led to this thread being started. Just on the anchor issue, the anchors on my car are round (both sides of the backing plate) and fixed, which means no adjustment at this point. Brakes still have to be manually adjusted through the slot in the backing plate though. Oh, and I cleaned the linings before installing the shoes and the composition of the lining material looked the same to me on both shoes, so maybe the issue of colour of the brake springs is not an issue at all. No matter, it's been done by the book now. Cheers, John
