The Ground Up catalog has a nice picture for the return spring and how it attaches to the bracket on a '67- they sell the springs and the bracket.

 

Thanks. Will go look.

 

Looked the picture in the Ground Up Catalog but I don't see how or where it attaches to the firewall.

Still looking for where this bracket attaches to the firewall.

 

Like this,...any help? My 67, if you need it, I could measure the distances from a couple of points in that area that are identifyable on you car to get you in the right spot.

Thanks a bunch for the picture!! As they say, a picture is worth...... If the measurements are not too difficult to make, sure would appreciate them. Two question; is it welded to the wirewall?

Also, the one I have has a little tab on the end that goes on the wirewall. Does this tab have any use for locating the bracket?

Again thanks for the picture.

 

Not a problem. I will get them and post 'em for you. Yea, vaguely remember a tab, can't remember if it is oriented to the left or right though.

 

Nevada, what was the final outcome? I just tried to put my new springs on last night and realized mine no longer had evidence of the bracket after someone patched the floor. I'm standing there with a new bracket and springs in my hand with absolutly no clue. I wish mine looked like Mike S's above!

please I need them too

 

Sorry, I never got any measurements from Loader1. Left the old installation in until I can figure out how and where to mount the bracket. I am assuming that the bracket is welded on because I can find no other obvious means of fastening it to the firewall. I, like you, need a couple of reference measurements so I can get it close to the proper location. Hopefully, Loader1 will see this and it will jog his memory about the measurements.

yes it is spot wledeld to the firewall

 

I do not know if this photo will help any and I can't measure because the car has been sold. The bracket is inline with the z-bar arm so the spring has a straight pull.

 

Thanks much Philip! The picture does help. I can now estimate pretty well the braket location using where the speedo cable comes out of the firewall and the spring bracket location on the Z-shaft.

Appreciate everyones help!

 

Hey everyone,

Sorry I left you all hanging but when I went out to measure it , I realized that my son had borrowed my floor jack, and it is still MIA. However, I just went out and took a measurement that will do the trick.
The distance from the CENTER of the Z BAR CROSS SHAFT to the furthest end of the tab is 10 INCHES. It is straight down in alignment, with the L portion of the tab facing the trans. By straight down I mean if you are at the front of the car sighting from where the upper end of the return spring goes through the Z BAR to where the spring goes through the tab.
:clonk: Sorry I forgot about this one, you should have reminded me w/a PM.

Thanks Mike!

With the pictures and the measurement will get it close enough.
