Michael, I replaced the brake spring on my '47 about two months ago. Found
a good spring at the LAPD (local auto parts dealer). They were called
"clutch and brake springs" and were very generic. Cost about $3.00. It
wasn't the exact size I needed, but it was easy to cut it off and bend a new
hook on the end. The list members gave me some great tips on installing it.
If you need this info let me know.
