Thanks Kurt.
Last night I managed to retrieve my extra busted emergency brake handle
from the shed out back before El Nino/Round seven(?), nine(?),
twelve(?), whatever, opened up on us. Then after dinner I went out in
the garage and took the thing all apart. There was no sign of a spring.
No sign that one had ever been there. No left-over spring parts, no
holes or hooks for a spring or anything.
Finally, in desperation, I went to the photocopy of the parts manual you
sent last year, and there it was, same as the web-page drawing, a
funny-looking J-shaped spring with an extra loop at the cup.
Looks to me like if we could locate a cool one-coil flat spring with
long enough legs, we could probably bend it to fit. Anybody have access
to a catalog from a goofy-shaped-spring supplier?
