Was that for 3 sets. Obviously you`re not doing it right. Anyone else live in the woods who can help

Drive along and pull the hand brake on to bed it in......   At 100mph    at a sensible speed.

Coat the inside of the drums with evostik, helps the shoes grip.

I had a problem like this, someone who owned the car before me put some new backplates on but instead of doing the job properly they just chopped them in half and fitted them.
I had to strip both sides and fit new bearings too, the hardest job was getting my hands on some backplates. they are like rocking horse s**t

So the lever assembly at the base of the back plate was removed, stripped, cleaned and refitted after some grease was applied to the pivot?
