i installed all new slave cylinders and pads on my 75 clubby recently but on the front left drum there is no springs holding the shoes together i asked another person with a clubby and they said theres didnt have any on the left either
it might be a bit stupid but... yeh where there supposed to be springs on the left side
it pulls to the left and i think this might be why
any help would be good cause i cant drive my car until im sure
if there was supposed too be springs holding it does any one have any?

Yes there are 2 main springs on each side, and a spring thingy attaching each shoe to the pistons.

Just gotta love the guy who left them out. How reassuring...

yeh it has the little springs holding the shoes to the cylinders but no long ones.

its a mistery why they arent there?it was an old ladys car and only had 55000 kays when i got it new
and i dont think she did services at home

Those 2 big springs not only contract the shoes after use... they ensure the shoes are held square against the backplate.
It is dangerous to run without them- the shoes will rub on the drum all the time and overheat. They will also tend to wear crooked.
