The Ford Barn

I am doing a restoration on a 1941 car frame and having trouble identifying where the clutch return spring (and brake pedal return spring for that matter) are supposed to be hooked on the frame. I am looking now for the correct clutch return spring and also have some questions. Looks like the '41 thru '48 springs are the same one, and I saw one advertised as the single (same one) used for both the brake return and the clutch return. It was just over 7" long as I remember. I also found a much longer (17+ inch) spring designated for the 1940 ford car and the '41 ford truck. At any rate, if someone who has a '41 ford car could give me some advice, that would be great. A picture if possible would be worth a thousand words. On my frame, there just is nothing behind (to the rear of the car) the clutch pedal for the spring to hook to . . .

Perplexed enthusiast . . . . Thanks in advance.
