yes RD fella under tension,I have been having a good look at it and maybe it had a bit of a bend at both ends years ago. it's just that with having a play today I noticed when everything was in situ the brake drum was snagging on the emery but when I put the arm behind the fixing bracket it must have lined the brake plate up properly. before that it must have always been a bit sqewwhif all these years without me knowing until the abrasive paper was in there. I was just wondering where it was anchored straight out of the factory. I have done the shoes now and spent some time on the torque arm so it is now only under tension. come the better weather I will find out if I have a better break than I've had for years.
