65 Commando stock brake set up

You are correct. Sorry I didn’t emphasis that it was ten inch so the hardware was not all the same. But finding something to show the adjuster that the car would have. I’m hesitating to use the earlier adjust. I’ve read here in some posts they tend to over tighten. So after it’s you may want to pay attention to that

Nine inch brakes on my 65 Barracuda properly put back together. I used the traditional push and twist hold down springs, but the kit has the springs shown in the second picture. The front ones are held on by this type of spring. I've never dealt with them. I assume you have to reach through the backing plate and pull the spring until you could hook it on the retainer. Anyone messed with these? Is there a special tool to reach through the backing plate and pull the spring? Thanks!
