Master Cylinder Spring ???

On my 54 3100 I had to disassemble my master cylinder by removing the fitting on the end where the brake lines go and with a long skinny bolt drive the piston out with a hammer. It was really mucked up. In the process the spring was destroyed. I thought - no biggy the master cylinder kit will have a new one. NOT!! The master cylinder kit I bought from Napa Auto Parts (#146) did not have a new spring in it.

Does anyone know where I can find or have a spring that will fit my 1-1/8" bore master cylinder?

I would greatly appreciate and assistance.

For my 41 Jim carter has a complete master cylinder rebuild kit and it comes with everything, I think it was less than $15. I would take back the napa kit for a carter kit.

If its the ME315 that Jim Carter offers, it too doesn't have a spring; or at least the photo of the kit on Jim Carters web site does not show one. Have you bought one recently? My master cylinder has an 1-1/8" bore.
