Default flathead teds brake equalizers

I just started to try to install the equalizer kit, the instructions are confusing to me because there is no parts identifying print. the instructions seem vague in regard to what goes where? Help any one have some photo's that may help me?

Look on U tube under Flat Head Ted. He will walk you through it. They work well.

Once you see the video it all becomes clear, they should include a CD with the sale of
the kit. It took me longer to try and decipher the instructions than it did to put on the
kit. Man do they work....

Bingo once I found the video , I went right to putting them on. The instructions are not very good. The video is the ticket to getting it done. Thanks guys. The front is on now to run the linings in and will do the back another day.

I've seen the MAFCA CD, it's pretty good. It helps.

We HAD to use the top spring, to stop the front left wheel locking and staying on!

They really work great, and minimise the fiddling required during adjustment.
