1938 Brake Pedal Return Spring position

[dracenroc]

I thought this will never happen to me but I don't remember where the return spring for the brake pedal is attached.

Actually it should have been just a one day brake overhaul job but since some other things came in between I dismantled it weeks ago and didn't make any pictures.

 

Can anyone post a picture where the spring is attached (both sides) for an '38 Special?

 

Thanks!

While probably not identical, a 1938 Century is probably similar. This photo was taken when I was documenting a 1938 Century while disassembling it to restore it.

Thanks for your help. The 40's have no spring extension and probably not the same anchor point but it helps me where to have a closer look in search for the anchor point.

Here's a couple photos of my '37 special:

Finally found the anchor point on the bracket attached to the frame holding the master cylinder. It's slightly different then on the '37. Bracket is closer attached to the frame on the '38, makes it more difficult to detach the master.

Loosening the bracket and slide out the brake pedal a bit gives access to the master cylinder bolts. Was the easiest way for me to remove the master cylinder.

All in place again I couldn't see the hole above the cylinder 🙂

 

Thanks for your help Gary!
