1965 Lotus S2 Rear brake assembly diagram

Hi

Has anyone got an assembly diagram for a S2 rear drum brake. While I`m awaiting suspension components, I took the drums off. One side the handbrake doesn't really work on, the other side binds. At some point its had replacement cylinders and shoes and I`m convinced its reassembled incorrectly or broken, possibly both. Its the self adjusting version. Possibly Triumph Herald based?.

I think your S2 would originally have had a Standard rear axle but that would not have had self adjusting brakes.  I suspect that something like a Mk 2 Escort axle has been added (I think they have self adjusting brakes).  What is the diameter of the brake drum? Also as suggested earlier some photos will help us identify what you have got

Many thanks all. Its indeed a Dolomite and is almost certainly someones modification.at some point. The problem was the drivers side brake was reassembled incorrectly after the shoes were replaced. Theres a H section metal fitting which should go next to the handbrake/self adjust lever. It was fitted below the lever. On to the next job! Cheers Pete
