Hi all.

Troys pic/questions re: adjusting star, and Mark Drillocks helpful
comments, prompted me to double check my work. I noticed that my
adjusting star is not centered at access hole.

Is this because:

Shoes still "new", but as they wear, auto adjustment brings star
closer to center of hole? (it seems to me it likely doesn't move)
Or...

Star offset from hole to facilitate use of adjusting tool? (i.e. fits
easier in front of trailing arm) Or....

I installed hardware incorrectly?

As per Mark Drillocks return spring comment, I checked my work. Seems
return springs are installed correctly, but as subject says, please
critique.

If any flaws in my assembly, please advise. I'll correct it and redo
my web page of pics.

Thanks!

Neil.
