You'll be fine. At some point, whoever was working on my car (a screw up
that's not mine for once!) put the drums on backwards. The drums for the
passenger side were on the drivers side, and vice-versa. I of course, am
of the opinion if you find something working one way, you should leave it
that way, even if its wrong. The classic "if it ain't broke...".
But anyway I've been driving my '61 Newport for years with the drums on
backwards, with no trouble yet. I've only lost a wheel once, and that was
because I didn't tighten the lugnuts. Well, twice I've lost a wheel, but
the second time it took a drum and an axle with it-that wasn't my fault.
Glad to hear it's stopping properly again.
