71 Charger parking brake return spring source

[70chall440]

I pulled the parking brake out of my 71, soaked it in evaporust which did a great job, however during this I discovered that the return spring was broken. Does anyone have a source for a replacement?

look at Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, Or just about any hardware store. they have a selection of springs that can work.

Have you replace this spring with one from a hardware store or are you assuming that there is one there?

I have done many different ones. You just have to look for yourself and compare.

I have to admit that I have not looked around all that hard just yet but will, just thought it was worth asking the question before hand.

It seems really similar to many rear brakes pads return springs. Dunno about size thought. But I don’t think is really critical try to get something similar and not an exact one.

as mentioned, mostly sure some hardware store will source something that will work. That’s posible even in Venezuela LOL, so why not in USA?

Yeah I agree, I just have to look for one.

I was able to get back to this problem of the broken spring, I decided to disassemble the parking brake and see what I needed. After doing so, I cannot figure out where this spring would connect, anyone out there have a parking brake assembly available that they can look at or take a picture of?

This might help.

Not a great reference photo but hope it helps. I guess I do not have one out of the car.
