Im missing two springs in my rear brakes. One spring is about 1" long and almost squished looking. It goes on the bar with the slots on each end that fits between the two shoes (just above the axle). The other spring is the one that hooks to the shoe and then around the main top stud.
Anoyone have these laying around? Or where can i get them?

I bought a complete rebuild kit at auto-zone. I assume you could buy the single spring there to.

So far, all the spring kits I've seen don't have the spring for the bar. And couldn't get it by itself or with a new bar kit.

Check our sponsor's on line catalog. I think I saw them there. Otherwise, it's a trip to a yard. Most A model cars use the same spring.

No. That spring will only be on the back brakes. It's part of your parking brake.
