Still having trouble with brake pedal and clutch linkages

[Dr. Fell]

Hi all - we can not figure out how to hook up the two springs around the brake pedal and clutch in the 1947 Plymouth Club Coupe. Please, please post pictures of this area under the kick plate showing how these springs attach.

[Dr. Fell]

I have the two springs you show in the pictures. I do not have the wire piece that the spring connects to that hooks into the frame. I think I understand what to do with that one (the brake spring). I still can't understand where the clutch fork spring attaches. I have that little piece that it hooks to, but I don't know where to attach that piece.

Thanks for the help.

I now see two threads on the same issue. I am not sure which thread I should post the answer on.

Been researching this issue for hours. I cant find anything in the book.  Is there a link with pictures on where all the springs and brackets go for a 48 ply? All the threads I have visited mention pics in the thread and some even had links. For some reason I cant see any of the pics mentioned and the links took me to "internal server error"  Spent all morning under this car trying to get all my adjustments correct.  Help would be greatly appreciated! She is insured, plated and ready to roll.

Seabee;

Exactly what are you having a problem with?

Don, do you have a duplicate car sitting up on a work bench somewhere? You always have great photos of whatever someone is asking about. Thanks!

Don, bottom pic was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I was able to figure out the over center spring on my own, but that bracket on the bottom pic confused me, I couldnt understand why the cut outs are in it, and where it went. Anyways, one last question. I read a post on another thread you made saying there were only 2 springs involved. Where the brake pedal linkage attaches to the master cylinder, there is a little tab with a little hole in it, just looks like some kind of spring attaches there and goes somewhere. So I have been looking for pics of a third spring. I am not sure why its there? Thanks for posting!

The eyelet connects to the pedal as pictured, the spring connects to the eyelet as pictured. Then a length of straight wire with loops bent into both ends connects to the spring and the other end connects to a hole in the the frame near the steering box if I recall.
