Rear brake springs
« on: October 09, 2012 - 09:02:48 PM »
71 cuda 340 broke the long skinny brake spring that hooks to both brake shoes at the bottom, have looked at several spring kits and none of them had this spring in it, anyone know where to get a complete spring kit or this particular spring. Thanks

yes it looks like the green spring, i have been to every auto parts place in town and looked on line at brake spring kits and none have that spring in it. my spring was connected to the next hole (small) up from where your spring is in the picture on the right side, was it in the wrong place. maybe thats why it broke, is that brake kit in your picture from autozone. Thanks for the info.
