1928isgreat Oil Can Mechanic Registered: 04/21/10 Posts: 714 Loc: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia	Hi Guys, Excuse me if this sounds dumb, but I am trying to fit the correct spring in the hand brake lever. Up until now have always had a improvised one that just failed. Any chance some one could send me a picture of how it looks fitted, with a bit of a run down on fitting as I am not sure how it fits. Just goes to show there are still things to be learned, even after 30 odd years. Regards Ray _________________________ Some say "Street is neat". I prefer "1928 is great" I have documented my 38 years with a 1928 Chev Tourer, from 1973 to 2011. The highs, the lows, the good and the bad. Let me know what you think of it.
