Default 1978pace car parking brake

I had to replace the parking brake shoe springs so I had to drill out the rivets in the hub to spindle. What do I do on the reinstall - I cannot find any directions relative to installing new rivets or??. If I do nothing the wheel and drum will wobble.

The 5 lug nuts will provide the clamping pressure to hold the rotor to the spindle. Just make sure the rotor goes back on in the same position it was when it was riveted (parking brake adjustment holes still aligned with the holes in the flange).

Yup, I got it now. Had to take it apart again since I heard a clunking noise, one of the shoes was not seated properly at the top. Thanks. (ps I also double posted since I didnt think the first one got sent - sorry)
