Post war brakes question.

[Mart]

I've never had any brake spring pliers, they are available on ebay, though, I'll get myself a pair.

I've not had a problem wrestling them into place, before, but I've normally been dealing with the 39 pattern. These later ones with the spring clips and these repro springs just seem such a stretch. I have a method that works, so I'm ok, I just wondered if the repro springs are stronger or shorter than they should be.

Thanks for the advice.

Mart.
