Topic: 1939 Ford E-Brake Handle spring


Frosty    -- 05-14-2020 @ 7:58 PM
  I'm looking for the coil spring that fits inside the 1939 e-brake handle. Mine is broken. I also need the rivet that holds the inner handle to the outer handle. (Not sure of the names of these parts.)
This coil spring is +/- 1-5/8" long by 7/16" dia. Can't find it listed by any of the usual suppliers.
Cheers,
Al

  Is this the spring you are looking for?

  No. That is the pawl spring. I need the other spring that fits between the two parts of the handle. I'll try to post a picture of it tomorrow.

  Here's a picture of the broken spring for comparison.

  That spring looks like something you may find at your local hardware store. Have you tried a hardware store?
