Parking brake spring clip

Post by ppeters914 »

One of these is attached to each parking brake rod that parallel the rear axle housing. These clips hold one end of a spring.

Anyone know of an acceptable replacement?

Thanks.

What's wrong with it? Blasted mine and had them replated.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.

Not lucky enough to have a blaster. I was hoping for a quick replacement solution.

drop it in vinegar and then heat it up on the stove when the wife isn;t looking. That will accelarate rust removal. Or just use a wire wheel - or compination of both.

EvapoRust is awesome stuff! I have no connection to them, but wish I did. Just soak for 30-60 minutes, rinse and paint. It’ll be better than new.

Excellent suggestions! I'll scrape and wire brush them best I can, then vinegar soak, then add to "goes to plater" box.

If the plater wants them cleaner, I'm coming to your place, Curtis. :lol:
