What is the correct orientation of rear brake shoes in a 77 Spitfire? 
Obviously, the one the handbrake lever contacts can only go one way, but 
what of the other one? Handbrake hole up or down? When I bought my car 
seven years ago (seems hard to imagine I have had it this long) it had them 
one up, one down. That's how I have always replaced them. But this past 
weekend, I stripped the hubs from my low mileage parts car to replace a hub 
on mine, and the shoes where in there BOTH up. I am reasonably confident 
that this car had never had it's brakes replaced.

So which is the right way? Or does it not matter?
