Default Brake and Clutch Pedal Return Springs - 1932

Hi,

I have a 32 roadster project and would like to know and really like to see how the brake and clutch pedal return springs are attached to the center cross-member and to what holes. The front part, the clevis pins I know, but the rear portions I've never seen in detail and have been unable to search it up.

Thanks

While the springs are not installed on this period display chassis, the two holes for the springs are clearly evident. Each lines up with the end of the special clevis pin ends on which the springs are looped over for each pedal. This assumes that that you original type springs with the back end formed into a "V".

Thanks David and I can see the holes now. This spring replacement now makes sense for the clutch but the brake clevis pin location is closer to the cross-member and looks like it may be shorter. Appreciate your help!
