To Charlie Stephens & "Kube", thanks for your input. I actually have the Van Pelt picture in my 3-ring binder, and had shoes on one of my wheels with the long shoes on the front, but then I saw a note in one of the catalogues that said the short shoes go on the front, so I changed them around to suit. Not really a big deal to go back to the proper way. Al

Frosty, Long shoe goes toward the front. Those spring washers go between the lever and shoe.

I'm trying to re-assemble the parking brakes on a 1939 S/W. I know generally how they fit, but I'm not sure of the location of the washers & spring washers that came in the lever pin kit. Is there a blow-up picture of the assembly somewhere? Also, I've seen conflicting info on the position of the brake shoes. I know that there is a long and short shoe at each wheel. Does the long show go on the front or the rear? Just for clarification, I've inherited a car that someone else took apart and partially restored. I'm trying to put it back together.
