My '36 coupe came to me without the spring in the door mounted remote, in either door. Before I tear into it, I'd like to see how the spring is mounted / attached in the triangular housing.
Does anyone have a diagram or picture of the spring mounted in the housing, that they would share? I'd really appreciate any help provided.
Thanks,
-Bob
 
On the forward side of the mechanism is a square hole the straight tail of the spring fits into this hole The curved end of the spring is over the cam lock under the square shaft for the handle. Best to heat the tabs on the rear before bending them straight for removal or install, can use a propane torch.
 
Follow Terry's instructions.Here is a pic of the remote with the spring installed.Hope this helps.

Follow Terry Ohio's advice on the tabs. I broke the tabs and it become a pain in the a##
to rig a system to get the spring in properly. terry
 
Thank you so very much, gentlemen ! I've had no trouble with the rest of the restoration, but that %&#@ spring beat me.
Appreciate your help.
