I thought so but the picture was labeled as right from the website I
d/loaded it from .... it had me second guessing.

If you look close at the picture, notice that the backing plate
mounting holes for the brake parts can be either right or left - just
depends on which side you are mounting it.

I think the large shoe needs to be on the back side of the assembly. On
either side.

If it won't stop in forward but stops on a dime in reverse, switch the
shoes front to back. The plate will go on either side.

On cars with rear drum brakes, the larger shoe is in the front...

Thanks for the heads up.
Fixed...kids playing with it...geesh...
Funny..I never knew that the date on the posting computer would appear
on the news server like that. I would have thought the news server
would do it's own dating of messages? Odd.

No, the larger shoe always goes towards the back.

the front brake actuates the rear brake. Causing more force to be appled to
the brake. therefore the large shoe on the back.
