Hey guys, just finished up the rear brakes on the 66 coronet i got recently that i posted about and i have some questions about the front brakes. it's 10" drums all the way around. the front brakes are gutted so ive got no reference. the shoes front and back are interchangeable, but was wondering if the upper springs, self adjuster cable, adjuster bracket, star adjuster and guide for the cable are the same too as the back. i got the master brake kit for the car but the shoes i got require the long yellow spring on both shoes per wheel and the kit i got gave me one yellow upper spring per wheel. if all the parts are the same i'll be able to get them from the parts store tomorrow and get the front done too on my last day off! i'm going to post a pic here of what i think my fronts should look like, they look very similar to my rears. TIA.

As far as I know self adjusting brakes were not available in 66. However you can update them to self adjusting and they should take the same hardware front to rear.
