Hopefully it's not completely bolted back together yet - you have the left rear brake backing plate installed on the right, & vice versa. :oops:

That little extension-arm visible on the right side of the backing plate in your photo should be on the left instead (towards the rear of the car). This little arm holds one end of the positioning spring for the e-brake cable lever (one per side of the car). If you're removing the X1/9 rear discs & reinstalling the 850 drum brakes, you'll probably want a usable e-brake too, right? :wink:

Nice job on everything so far...looking good!

What sharp eyes you have! Yes I discovered my error, one of several after having the car apart so long!

Cheers!
