Can someone please tell me how the brake rods go on a 30 Coupe?

Or provide me a diagram or picture?

I looked in Les Andrews, and they mention it, but I am still un-clear as to exactly where they go.

I need this for the both the front and rears as well as the emergency brake.

TIA

The four service brake rods are all installed with the adjustable clevis facing the front of the car. The parking brake rods have larger clevises to fit over the cross shaft ends. The anti rattlers are mounted to help pull the rods back off the activated position to retract the shoes.

The anti rattlers (flat brake rod springs) may need to be bent some to provide good pressure against the upset in the rod. The fronts mount on the front side of the mounting bracket and the rears mount on the rear side of the mounting bracket.

I also lube the upset and pocket with grease.
