Brake stay rod, never put Dobies on but they are easy enough. Sometimes you may have to move the rear brake shoe holder, if this is the issue loosen the rear axle to move that around it alignment is a problem.

You can PM Dobie (Magniac) for his assistance, he can take a look at your stand and might be able to tell you if any part looks bent.

Nothing but a piece of cake as long as I'm not doing it and wood is no where to be found.

Terry's right on with the BSR ... you need to move the brake shoe holder a little bit to line it up.  You may have to loosen up the rear axle bolts but I was able to get by using a rubber mallet to gently persuade that part to move the tiny bit necessary to get it aligned.

Yeah, that was my suspicion, but I didn't want to start moving the wheel bits around prematurely.  Thanks for the confirmations.
