Hi All,
I'm in the process of putting new front brake cylinders on my 83 109. I have replaced many a shoe in my time, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to get the springs set. They are new.
Do I position the shoe, then set the spring (tuff because it's behind the hub and I don't have alot of room to use a screwdriver to pry them back in) or do I set the spring and then force the shoe into place. Should I start with the top in place or the bottom.
THis is the model with two cylinders per side...top and bottom.
Any and all help appreciated.

series 3 choke cable

I think I have the same issue. My 1984/5 SIII 109 is part defender bits and part series bits. I have the steering column lock and the Choke cable goes into a cast housing that seems to be part of the ignition block like yours.
I dont know how to post pics but if you send me an email at jdfras@hotmail.com I'll send you a pic. I am in the process of replacing the contact part on the rear, and possibly the actual tumbler as well (hopefully not as I dont want to deal with those shear bolts).
The idea of finding a complete replacement would be great...let me know if you find one.
Cheers,
Dave
