    In the case of drum brakes with a single cylinder/piston,  only one 
shoe, that is the leading shoe , is self-energising.  The other shoe is, 
'trailing'

Healey rear brakes are single cylinder/piston.

One thing not mentioned yet I believe is;      are the shoes square to 
the drum face achieved by adjusting the 'post' which is at right anle / 
square to the backing plate and shoe face located on the cylinder?
