Installing Dayton 2 piece calipers on a 78 Ford Dana 60.
Where does the metal spring/shim go on the H block?
Is this correct?

I tapped in the spring/shim with the H block at the same time. Is Locktight enough, or should H block be tack welded also?

How you have it installed is correct. loc-tite is ample.

be easy on those flanged bolts. I broke one off and it ruined the caliper.
