Re: Brake return spring addition
A little hard to tell from the photo, but it doesn’t look right. The purpose of the spring to to pull the pedal back to its proper position. It has to attach to the pedal in a manner that does that.

JD, I can't tell either from the pic. Let me ask you. Does the brake pedal return quickly after you release it?
If it does then the spring is correct. |

If it's returning the brake pedal to the correct position, then it is installed correctly.

Re: Brake return spring addition
Bratton diagram shows it correctly installed.
Can not tell from photo in Post 1. This is a "band aid" fix for a car with worn out brake parts. Last edited by Benson; 07-10-2021 at 10:52 AM. |

Re: Brake return spring addition
The spring is intended to be hooked on the stock motor mount. If you have Float-A-Motor mounts you will have to figure something out as they don't accommodate it.
