1951 coupe brake question

good morning. i am working on my newly acquired 51 coupe. I have replace the rubber lines, wheel cylinders, shoes, drums tuned, and the master rebuilt. before i started the peddle the peddle would not return and it some leaking wheel cylinders. so everything is put back together and the peddle still does not return. It occurred to me last night that i do not have a return spring on the master. so my basic question is do any of you guys have a picture of what the spring looks like and how it hooks up? here are a few pics of my car. any help would be appreciated. I have an appointment monday morning for an alignment then i should be on the road.



 
Nice car, sold my shoebox 50yrs ago and have regretted it ever since. Sorry I don't have an answer for your brake question I can't remember back that far.
 
Not sure how similar the Mercs and the Fords are, but here is a Mercs diagram. The spring is #7523.
