Getting ready to fit new rear backplates. I noticed the metal "loop" at the bottom on one of them has been tacked on off-square.
I cant really work out what this bit is for - does it matter? See pic.

the lower spring runs along under the guide and should be horizontal; the handbrake cable runs across the front face of it ( less critical angle wise)

Hmm, yes. I just dry-assembled the shoes and the spring rubs against the edge of the guide, not good. Think I'll be returning this one. Cheers.
