Hi everybody, I need a little help. I replaced the master cylinder on my 53 and now I don't remember where the spring goes. There were two springs involved and one goes to the clutch. I think I have that one on correctly. It attaches to a wire that comes from the frame and the other end attaches to the arm that goes to the clutch arm.
There is a hole in the brake arm for a spring but I can't seem to remember where the other end goes. Any help with a pic or directions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This might help. I have cleaned it up a little since then.

Thanks a bunch for the picture. I had everything correct except for the brake spring. Now I know where it goes. I knew I could depend on someone helping me out here. Thanks again.

I just looked at the picture again and realized that I forgot to put the rubber bumper back on the clutch lever. I hate having to take things apart again!!!!!!

Is this the correct position for the clutch pedal return spring? The spring on my '49 Coupe broke last Saturday and I was replacing it yesterday when I noticed that the loop on the rod is all the way at the end of the adjustment rod. We put the spring more in the middle instead of at the end. I also think that since I was using a generic spring, we put the spring part on the other end where it connects to the wire on the frame. Does it make a difference and does the spring end just wrap around the rod?
Thanks.
Mike

Mine is that way and i have been told its on the wrong "notch" as well. I dont know if i could move it further in, i am at the end of the adjustment on the threaded rod. Cesar
I probably have other issues, needing a new clutch for starters.

I am not sure, it worked fine the way it was so I assume so. I checked the manual, but there was not a clear picture

Interesting, mine is near the end of the adjustment nut also, but I have a new clutch. I have the right amount of free play in the pedal according to the Manual--I keep wondering what my issue might be!!!

My 53 was bone stock and had never been fooled with. The clutch rod was on the second notch and the spring was on the outside just like the picture from alltak shows. In fact it was worn half way through from wear over the years. I took it out and welded it back up so it will last many more years.

I'm not so sure either one of us has ours "wrong" after seeing this in my "Ready Reference" Time Saver

Maybe you can find one on e-bay Phill. From the mid seventies until probably 2002 or so all I had was a 1955 Motors Repair Manual and the Ready Reference and the knowledge of some great old timers for help.
Here's what the cover looks like:

Maybe I can take this apart and scan it Keith when I get some time. I can't give you a time frame right now but I wouldn't mind contributing this. What format would you like it in?

The latest model year looks like 1952 but it has info and illustrations going back to at least 1946.
Here's some links to scans of the back cover and the first page of the index and last page showing the accessory fog lamps.
