RJ58 Brake Return Spring Anchor

Recommended Posts

Horse Play

My RJ58 is missing the anchor for the brake return spring.  I want to make one, but haven't a clue what is looks like.  Can someone post photos and some dimensions for me?  Also, can anyone recommend a source for a replacement spring?  

 

Thanks for any help!

Here is a picture of it just below the axle.  It is 1/2" wide, 1" long and 1/4" stock and is flat..  The bolts that hold the side plates on are 1/2"...the bolt that holds on this piece is 3/4".  It has a 1/4" hole for the end of the spring.  They are easy to make.  :occasion-xmas:

Thank you very much, Steve.  Seems like a simple enough part.

 

Thanks, roadapples - I'll check out TSC.

OK, next stupid question: one end of the spring attaches to the anchor - where does the other end attach?

The brake linkage.

Right, but I do not see a hole anywhere to retain the spring end.

I don't have an assembled RJ any more, but if I remember right there was a trunnion on the end of the linkage and the spring went through the eye of the cotter key that held it in place on the cross bar to the clutch.
