51 cambridge New guy...where does it go?

[Drewfinn]

Hello Folks! New guy to the forum. Working on a 51 Cambridge,have a bunch of questions, but,right now this is the one. I was cleaning up my transmission before reinstalling it and I found this spring on the ground... Uh...where do it go? Any ideas? Thanks!

Looks like maybe driveshaft front trunnion spring.

Driveshaft(propeller shaft) is all buttoned up tight,hasn't been apart. Was thinking maybe a part of the parking brake shoe set...off to check things out! Thank you! In othet news, oil pan cleaned and reinstalled,new rear seal fiddled into place and flywheel all bolted up. Just takes so long when I try to be patient.

But that is the key to success when dealing with old cars

that goes on the parking brake on the passenger side, a 5/16 bolt goes through it . the bolt must be drilled and wired in place
