Brake rods need help

[29 model-a]

Need help with brake rods, e- brake and service brakes just the rears. Restoring a 29 truck which didn't have the rods installed, anybody have a diagram on the rods and which way the springs go that hold the rods.I have the six rods and springs just don't know what it looks like. I know where the springs go and the rods but do they cross?

Pic worth 1,000 words -- Excellent diagram in Bratton's Model A catalog.

Pete,
I'm an hour away if you need to look at anything on mine. It's a 1930, but I assume those rods are the same. I'm away but can send photo's of mine early next week if you still need them. Mine is finished except for all the "redo's" on some of the mechanical stuff that wasn't done properly or too long ago. I hope to get it on the road end of next week.
