I have a 67 Cutlass and the front drums have a bolt at the top instead of a pivot pin. I have gone through a few posts but most pics don't show this design. I want to replace the springs and follow a picture. The service manual has pictures of the other design. Thanks for any help and tips.

 

Those springs look fine to use over, I hardly ever change springs if they are clean and serviceable. You can take a picture of your brake assy before you start and/or do one side at a time so you can use the other side as reference.

 

Well, this is my work that I did a few years ago. I have looked over more pics and for the springs in the middle . I did just figure out between yellow and green one is longer, so that needs a correction. Besides that I am not sure if the top springs are correct, so getting another pic or diagram where both top springs are the same would be good to compare.

 

Here is a link to another thread with bolt instead of pivot pin & a lively conversation which you may have already reviewed. I can't speak for either what is or is not correct - this is a disclaimer. I'm merely a messenger.

I have also seen it both ways. Been working on these since 1970.

 

Vintage Chief, that link is helpful. Thank you!
