I have a 50 1/2 ton with the old Huck brake system. When I took the drums off the shoes aren't being held to the backing plates with holdown springs. I bought a new set of holdown springs,pins. My question is,how are the holdown pins attached? I have holes in the brake shoes,but don't see any thing on the backing plates to attach the pins to. appreciate any help or photos. I did some pics in previous posts,but not of the bare backing plates. Tom
