    Finally got my 82 Maxim running after taking my carbs to church! Hearing that first roar gave me feelings I've never had before. Just incredible.

    Now that she's going, I want to do a full brake overhaul. My first question is whether I'm missing anything on my back right wheel. Kind of looks like I should have a cotter pan or something on the end, but I'm not sure.

    Additionally, what should I be prepared to purchase? I've already looked at some brake shoes, and I'm seeing a range in prices between ~$25 and $70. Would it be a bad idea to purchase the cheapos? What else should I order?

    Thanks all!
