[Healeys] Rear Wheel Cylinder Retainers

[Bob Spidell]

Thanks, Hank; this is helpful (I'll hit the books tomorrow).

Still, it's unclear which clip goes on top; but, since #4 is 
curved/bowed, I think it's only possible that it goes under the flat 
plate (#2). The curve helps it get past the e-brake lever.
