1939 detent spring/branket info

[39BuickEight]

It appears my car only had one detent spring/extension. The bracket for the lower transmission bolt and the extension/spring are not/were not there. I have found the springs/extensions here at Bob's:

Trans.Shift Detent Springs 1939 S.40 TSS-39

That just leaves me looking for the lower bracket, or at least a better picture of what it looks like.

Here are the manual photos:

Here is my car, so you can see exactly what bracket I am missing, the one that goes on that lower bolt:

Does anyone know exactly what that lower bracket that the 2nd spring attached to looks like? Where I might find one?

The guys here usually point you toward Dave Tachney? for non-Bobs parts I think Billy.

It's a pretty simple bracket and I'm sure you can see from the picture it wouldn't be hard to make. I have a spare or 2 about but there not much good for a left hand drive.

Thanks guys! and thanks for the email Allan! I will email Dave. Worst case, we can make one. Just one more thing that makes me happy I wasn't the last person to drive this car. We also found the brakes could not have possibly been working correctly.
