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.

        &gt; Subject: [Healeys] Rear Wheel Cylinder Retainers<br>
        &gt;<br>
        &gt; Listers,<br>
        &gt;<br>
        &gt; I've replaced a few rear wheel cylinders and have always
        wondered about the<br>
        &gt; 'proper' orientation of the two U-shaped plates that retain
        the cylinders.<br>
        &gt; One of the U-shaped plates is flat with a couple notches at
        the 'top' of the<br>
        &gt; U--if it was oriented like the letter--and one has a couple
        'tangs' on top<br>
        &gt; that hook into the notches to retain the two pieces (which
        are
        designed to<br>
        &gt; slide against the backplate to enable 'self-energizing' or
        servo effect).<br>
        &gt; The piece with the tangs is usually slightly bowed and
        springy--at least,<br>
        &gt; mine are and I don't think I've ever bought new--apparently
        to
        spring load<br>
        &gt; the two pieces, which interlock, but it could have been
        bent
        during<br>
        &gt; re/assembly.<br>
        &gt;<br>
        &gt; My question is, does the notched, flat plate go against the
        brake backplate,<br>
        &gt; or does the curved piece with the tangs go against the
        backplate? It may be<br>
        &gt; that they can only be assembled in place in one way, and it
        seems they would<br>
        &gt; function OK either way, but I've always installed them with
        the tanged,<br>
        &gt; curved piece against the backplate, as it seems the
        cylinder
        would slide<br>
        &gt; easier that way (I also put a little grease on the
        areas--cylinder and<br>
        &gt; backplate--that slide or are slid against).<br>
        &gt;<br>
        &gt; TIA,<br>
