Rear brake shoes fitted...

With some new parts and a borrowed tapping tool – I drilled out and re-threaded the drum retaining screw hole that I needed to drill out when dismantling. I fitted the old shoes which I will need to replace later.

  1. Hi Kent,
    Am in process of fully restring my tr7 as well,I cant remember how the rear brake shoes fitted,until I found your site,thanks,however if you could answer one question,the hand brake mechanism,going down the side if the cylinder,does it attach somewhere on the bottom shoe,would think it must to work properly.ie,when lever pulled by cable itshould spread both shoes onto the drum,
    thanks Ray.

  2. Hi Ray, I had the same problem!

    It clips into the top shoe then pushes against the lower – I've posted a scan of my old Repair Operation Manual I used.

    Hope it helps and keep in touch, good to hear from others!
