Kaiser Forum / Re: 1953 Kaiser emergency brake large return spring

« on: February 24, 2016, 10:09:57 PM »

Update: Got spring worked out but found the cable assy. bad. Looked for one but couldn't find one but I located a supplier called Inline Tube in Michigan that took my old one as a sample and duplicated it. Only problem was the ball on the end of the cable was bigger and I had to fit it to the handle assy. Worked out--so far so good! Maybe that will help if someone else needs one.

Went to Tractor Supply problem seems to be length of coil and overall length and tension. Got one that the diameter is right--coil way too long so I might try to shorten and cut the end, none of the part houses had anything close and
ace was closed due to the snow I guess. Isn't this what makes it interesting...LOL

Thanks Mike--I just worried about getting one that is as heavy made as the original. Light spring won't do it but maybe they will have a heavy spring that will work.

1953 Kaiser--the large return spring under the car for the emergency brake assy has broken..my handle doesn't return back into position, this spring is one of 2 but is by far larger than the other one. Any suggestions? I figured something will work but hoped to get a little up front info on what to look for or use. Thanks for any help!

Thanks guys---appreciate the info, the best for me would be a rebuild kit if someone has one or info on one.
I just think the diaphragm is stretched or has a tear in it. Haven't pulled it yet to see.

To true mine up I think I will be too close to the edge and they want hold up. Pins might be a challenge too.

My problem is the pins and the holes drilled in the handle and base. The pins are worn and the holes are worn and the handle flops around. found some rubber buffers to go on the base to keep the handle from hitting the door skin but the slop in the handle is the problem.

51-55 door handles--anyone ever tried to weld up the holes in the handle part and the base part and then redrill to take the slop out of the operation of opening the door. On mine the pin that holds the handle and the base together is fair as to condition its the holes that are in varying degrees of wear that are making the handle operation sloppy. Looks as if the holes were redone by welding and redrilling or true the hole and put a bushing in them to tighten the working of the handle--something?? Just looking for ideas if there are any that might have been tried and really work?? Thks!
