    Brake/Clutch Retractor Springs

    1946 Super Deluxe I need some help figuring out how to attach the retractor springs. The car didn’t have a brake spring when I bought it, so nothing to go on there.

    Leaf Spring Grease Fittings

    I'm working on a 1946 Ford Super Deluxe station wagon (woodie) that has metal wrapped leaf springs. Each spring has two zerks embedded in the wrap. The zerks are mounted in a special cage nut that has a flange that holds it in the metal wrap. I have 3 of the 4 cage nuts, but need a fourth...
