help, part idenification, 1974
Help guys, I've disassembled this car so far for the frame off, and I've id'ed most everything with tags, bags, etc, but I missed this one.
Where does this go? http://www.luoxley.com/spring.jpg
I think it's somewhere near left front from underside.
Tnx, Bill

I would label that as garbage and buy a new one...whatever it is. If you tried to clean the rust off I'll bet there wouldn't be enough raw metal left stick to a magnet. It does look like a parking brake spring, either where the cable attaches to the loop, or inside the brake drum to hold the shoes together. It looks like too much tension for anything else.

I agree with you Rock, it's a goner!!, but I have to know what the heck it is and where it goes before I can buy a new one.
And thanks, so far, to everyone else, I'm guessing you guys are right on, as it was laying near middle of car, probably not long after I took off all the E brake parts, totally slipped my mind, and my labeling process. But additional thoughts are welcome.
thanks again, Bill
