My axle is still out, but the brakes are assembled so you can't see a whole lot on how it's assembled unless the axle shaft is out and the shoes removed.

The top of the lever is inserted into the top triangle-shaped hole on the rear shoe.

It's dead center of the pic I attached. I know it doesn't help much.

And the link bar (under the wheel cylinder) has one wider end, it engages the parking brake lever also.

Duffs, if you need any parts let me know. I have some from my Bird as well as the entire drum set up from the LeMans just laying around. If you are missing something let me know and you can have them if I have what you need...
