Bird aluminium brake spring install

[george3]

Does any one have a pic or two of the bird brake spring that stabilizes the shoe? I have one but it might be bent up and cant figure out its proper install to function properly.

I had no idea springs were made from aluminum. Can you post a pic of that?

I had pics of just the clip but can't find them now. I however did find the pics of it installed on an all original bird survivor.
Kinda hard to see but if you have one you can look at these to see how to install.

Do not disparage the Super Springing Action that is The Clip. While we may never know the truth behind all its mysteries, we must respect it and its essential functions.
