Rear break springs

Post by scotty »

I can't find an accurate photo or drawing , so anyone remember if the long spring goes on the top or on the bottom on the rear? I've had it all in a box for ages and now I can't recall.

Thanks!

I've seen that diagram, but I have a double and a single spring, and the double is longer. It's hard to tell from the drawing, but It looks like the longer one is on top, so I'll try it that way.

Thanks
