Top spring goes underneath the shoes (Wheel Bearing Side), bottom spring can go either behind or in-front but i normally fit it behind, handbrake bar should have a clip that attaches to the upper spring and wind your adjusters all the way in or you wont get the drum on. Obviously that's the nearside assembly?

Looks like your shoe isn't fully seated in the slave cylinder. The pistons have tapered ends so will only seat against the shoe one way. Again if you wind the adjusters in it will make the distance between the shoes less.

Plus i think your handbrake arm is in the wrong hole. From memory they go into the top hole but you will have to check this yourself.

Got it - you were right. I was to low with the brake spreader bar arm.
See pic below:
But - how the hell are you supposed to get the spring and cap on the brake shoe retaining pin.........
Just can't get enough power to push it down enough??

I’ve used some needle nose pliers pointing straight down onto the cap. This allows you to push it down and rotate it to lock it into place. Bit of a twat to do, but once you get the technique, you’ll be fine.
