JoelsBuicks Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I need to find two of the brake springs shown in the picture. These are for my '31 Sr. 60. The spring measures 7" long with a 4" long coil. The coil diameter is 5/8" and the wire size is 0.120". I was hoping to stumble onto some spring supplier's giant catalogue but the internet is not giving them up (Spring Catalogue is not a good search phrase!). Thanks in advance for your help.

Bob Engle Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Try Lee spring web sight. I think your spring is used on all 1930 models and all 1931,1932 60,80,90 series cars.Bob Engle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelsBuicks Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Bob, I looked at Lee Spring website - didn't find anything close and so I emailed them with the pic. They said it would be a custom job with $400 to $600 setup fee. I found other spring suppliers but no luck with any of them. There are several possibilities on ebay but not one reply to my inquiries about the length of the spring.Still looking for this, seems like I get easily sidetracked by the simplest of things. Thank you,Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Joel, I will take a look to see if my spare 50 series parts are the same...Sorry, the 50 series springs I have are only 6 1/2" long and the coil is less than 1/2" OD.

JoelsBuicks Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Mark, thank you for taking a look. I have yet to find one but there are a couple on eBay very close to the right size. I may just buy them and give them a try. Thanks again,joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I suggest you just try a local junk yard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
