The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk What's this wheel cylinder part called & where available?

I've got a 1 ton rear end on my '52 3/4 ton with Huck brakes. On one side I'm missing the silver adjuster "thingy" on the top of the wheel cylinder(see photo). I'd also like to replace the existing one because it was all bent out of shape and has lost it's "springiness".

What do you call this piece? Does anyone know if it's it available separately somewhere?

Thanks!

That is the spring that keeps the adjuster cap from turning. I don't think that you will find a source for a new one. They do sell new wheel cylinders though. A rebuilder may be able to replace the spring.
