I'm sure someone has a correct one of these laying around that they can take a picture of and post it. I would, except that I am in Florida for the winter and am 2200 miles from my shop. If you can wait until May, I'll step up.
I spent a little time looking on the internet, because I thought a proper spring would be available. Two things became obvious to me. The first is that in every occasion these were listed with the year application specified, NONE was for earlier than 1957. Second, I did find the dust shield that works in conjunction with this spring listed and it specifically indicated '49-'53 only. The spring is only $4.95, but the effort required to find out it is the wrong spring is considerable.
