1967 2-door.
Stock brake setup.
As previously noted, I'm having a little trouble with my brakes and I've decided to delve in and rebuild the rear drums.
So I bought a bunch of new stuff from our friends up at IPD (rear shoes, new wheel cylinders, yadda yadda), and while I waited for it to arrive I went ahead and began dissassembly, cleanup and prep of the driver side drum assembly (which was the worst, of the two).
Of the two brake shoes that are on the original assembly on each wheel, the rear-most shoe has a parking-brake lever mounted (RIVET) to it...
Exhibit A:

This is one of two levers that cam the shoes apart when you yank on the e-brake. The other spans horizontally between the two shoes.
When I got my new shoes from IPD, I opened a box and found 4 very similar (not identical) shoes, none of which look quite like the shoes I took off the car, and more importantly, they don't have the parking brake cam-lever.
Exhibit B:

Has anyone else recently changed their rear shoes?
When you ordered new shoes did two of them arrive as assemblies with this lever properly riveted in place?
Or is this something that one is expected to remove from the old shoes and affix to the new shoes?
Thanks for the help!
