1924 - 1925 Lockheed Hydraulic Brake Springs

[1925Stanley]

My 1925 Stanley has the same Lockheed Hydraulic Brakes as the early Chryslers.

 

I need new brake springs and have found a maker in Dallas who can make them.

 

Two Questions: 

 

1.  Is there another source for these springs?

 

2.  If Not, is anyone interested injoining in to have some made?

 

Here are the specifications taken directly from an original 1925 Stanley spring in excellent condition:

 

            .105" Wire Diameter

            .790" OD

            2.000" Free Length

            Optional Wind (left or right, makes no difference)

            Closed and ground flat on each end.

            Piano Wire that can stand complete compression.

 

They will cost about $20.00 each, so $160 for a set of eight.

 

Let me know at your earliest convenience if you have another "off-the-shelf" source or if you are interested in a set.

 

Thanks!
