250mm brakes

[lelio]

i bought'em from ireland and am installing and i feel like im failing an IQ test.

what do i do with these 2 clips and bars(bottom of picture)? I assume they somehow attach the spring to the curved bar like the clip on the stock one does, but i just dont see how. anyone installed these before? the instructions are very generic and make no mention of them.

i know im gonna smack myself when i figure this out and it's so simple.

Lelio,

The round pins are inserted from the back of the assembly, through the brake shoes and the little caps slide over the pinched looking end.

I've never seen Ireland's setup but the insert holes are usually in the bottom third of the brake shoes/backing plates

Their purpose is to keep the brake shoes flat against backing plate and limit movement.

This is my next project too!
