Question 1936 tudour clutch & brake springs, just 2?

My 36 has been down for a while after selling and moving from our last home and last time I adjusted the clutch I either misplaced a spring OR, put the clutch spring in the wrong location so it doesnt have enough tension on it?? Now the clutch is super easy to push which I know isn't correct. Currently there is one spring for the brake pedal and one spring for the clutch pedal but I feel like I am missing one Its hell when you get old is there just two springs total or three???

Thanks!


(attached is the only pic I could find but I still feel like there was a 3rd spring?)

If it is too easy to push then I'd also be wondering about the pressure plate.

Yes, but the kicker is I don't remember it this easy before I messed with the springs which leads me to the next question;


Its understood that the end of clutch spring connects to the end of the adjustable fork on the engine side but if I remember correctly I just have the other end connected to what looks like a bracket, does that sound correct



thanks again!
