diagram of 3C rear drum brake

The large spring on the linking rod is the actual return spring.  The 2 smaller springs on the brake shoes just prevent them from flopping around inside the drum!

Some US models got 2 extra springs linking the brake shoes internally, just like a conventional drum brake.  Apparently the DOT didn't trust the factory set up.

... this same gearbox spring being a perfect return spring helper for the early Grimeca drum brakes!

.. and the rod of the early Grimeca drum was in turn used for the gear shift linkage of drum brake SFCs!

  .... and those little springs are not only the same as the gearbox indent spring - they are the same as the seat lock lever return spring on a lot of models - Laverda  wisely did try to economise where it could - regards - Phil
