Old Guy Posted July 1, 2022 Report Posted July 1, 2022 Hi I'm busy restoring a 1949 Plymouth super de luxe, unfortunately there are a few pieces on the clutch linkage mechanism. So wondering if anyone can provide a diagram so I can re manufacture the A) bracket which bolts to the bellhousing that takes the spring from the clutch arm Pt No 6-27-6 B) the spring plate that also bolts to the side of the bellhousing / gearbox Pt No 6-52-5 Also, is there a source in the UK for the over centre spring Pt No 6-35-1 Thanks Quote
MarcDeSoto Posted July 2, 2022 Report Posted July 2, 2022 The bracket could be made easily, I think. I guess the spring could too. but I had the same problem with some missing parts to the brake linkage, so I found a guy with a parts car similar to mine and he was nice enough to part them out to me. If you can't find a parts car, I am assembling a 48 DeSoto so I could make a crude template from parts that are already installed on my car. You will probably have to find a parts car to get the overcenter spring. Quote

Thanks, unfortunately donor 49 plymouths are a bit of a rarity in the UK, I was hoping someone could trace the bracket with a few dimensions added.but a template would be great, if it's no problem Quote
MarcDeSoto Posted July 3, 2022 Report Posted July 3, 2022 Someone in the U.S. probably would sell you those parts, but I don't know how you would make the over center spring. I'll do what I can for the other two parts. Quote
Old Guy Posted July 5, 2022 Author Report Posted July 5, 2022 Thanks, making the brackets won't be a problem, once I have a template, as for the over centre spring, it is available to purchase, but the postage is as much as the part, but might have to bite the bullet to solve ghe problem Quote
