hi all,

i just dropped a '78 axle onto my '72 pig, and i bought the calipers semi-loaded, and i have no clue how the pads assemble. is this right? it doesn't feel quite right:

Looks good to me except the pad push-back spring is on the wrong side. Not too many ways they can go together.

The spring that holds the pad pins is not installed right ,
Look at dgangle second pic for the correct way they insert in the hole.

good catch. I found thesse at Google Image Search Also your pins are installed 180 degrees off.
