11" drum brake questions

[RJS]

So it seems the previous owner of my car took out all of the emergency brake parts.
I ordered the cables and the small parts that are in the drum but believe I still need the bar that goes across from one shoe to the other and the 2 springs that are on each bar. Also the arm that the cable pulls is gone. Let me know what else I may be missing.
Thanks Ron

For the e-brake you have it right.

It looks like an attempt was made to put self adjusters on but they didn’t finish that either. Missing the cable and the part that goes under the spring to route the cable.

I believe I have everything needed on it's way.
We'll see in a week or so.
Thanks Ron

Isn't there suppose to be an self adjuster cable and bracket also?

It will all be shown in your Factory Service Manual. There will be diagrams and exploded pictures.

Yeah, you're missing some parts there....

Only one spring on the bar. Good luck!

Agree, FSM is a great resource. This post is also very good:

Ah, but YOU know it's like that in there.....warm and fuzzies, my friend.

Once again everyone was very helpful. i rounded up all the parts and was ready to put on but then one of my shoes was missing a hole needed for the press in stud other components ride on. So had to order up shoes. Will get back to this in a couple of days.
Thanks Ron

Well slapped it all together and now have a working emergency brake along with self adjusters!! All the modern conveniences hidden under a 1966 Satellite.
