Re: Anti Rattler Pics
Dudley, you are correct that the springs should be on the other side of the bracket. The front springs should be mounted to the front side of the bracket and the rear springs should be mounted to the rear side of the bracket.

Re: Anti Rattler Pics
I did a search on anti-rattlers before I posted my question.What I need to know is where do the two front springs attach to? I think if it is a frame bracket mine are missing,possibly to make room for side mounts? Also I do not know for sure which ones to order for my not so late '31,no points car for sure.

Re: Anti Rattler Pics
Should be a small angle bracket attached to the frame web directly to the rear of the sidemount bracket

the topic also concerns me because yesterday are in the attempt to adjust the spring leaves and make passable in the gliding, breaking the tired metal strips. I also think that the follower wire springs (eg MAC's A2503BS) are the better ones like explained in the bulletin. They are also easier to change when tired. But on the picture # 6 of Tom they look very different again. A homemade construction?

Re: Anti Rattler Pics
I think it is misleading to refer to those springs as anti rattlers. While they serve that purpose, their main function, in my opinion, is to act as a return spring for the brake rod. I always install mine so that as you apply the brake (pull on the rod), the spring is tensioned. When the brake is released, the spring helps return the rod to the "at rest" position. Once that is considered, it becomes obvious which way they go.

Re: Anti Rattler Pics
Hello to Australia,
at first I also thought the "anti rattler" means that the push rods do not rattle. I now believe that these springs (retraction) should prevent thebrake pads "plucking" because they do not go all the way back to the rearmost position.

Re: Anti Rattler Pics
Werner, I belive the springs serve two purposes - retraction and anti rattle. A very neat and economical (typical Ford) solution.

Re: Anti Rattler Pics
from what you guys are saying, the new repro flat type must be improved quality----ones years ago were junk with no spring to them, just a flat piece of metal.
