So did mine - I just made a new one and welded it on.

i think that will mean you have bay window ( type 2) rear back plates.

they dont have this bit and you will have adjusters at the bottom where the pic shows the blanks.
the t25 did away with the manual adjusters , thats the auto adjuster under the cylinder.

The bottom spring is supposed to be behind the shoes and the wiggly hooked end on the handbrake lever shoe.

Hi Mr Herb, just adding that image to the wiki, what difference does it make with the squiggly bit on the wrong shoe?

Use this one then

would that be a problem? looks like both my back plates arent that old, do i just put new shoes on the same as the old ones or do i use the t25 spring kit and fit the blank bottom adjusters?
