Hello List:
Just installing new rear brake cylinders on my TR2/3 project and 
wondering about the placement of the dust boots on the cylinders. Have 
got the retaining plates and spring plates figured out, but wondering 
about the order of installing the boot. Do you push the cylinder through 
the opening in the backing plate, then fit the boot over the brake 
lever, then add the plates in the correct order? This would hold the 
square arms of the boot against the backside of the backing plate under 
the three plates.
Not sure if the boot was pushed through the backing plate opening with 
the cylinder, leaving the "square arms" of the boot on the inside of the 
backing plate under the cylinder.
Hope this posting makes sense!
Thanks for any help with this.
