Anyone have a picture of where the brake anti-Rattlers go on a 31 Tudor? Thanks

My Tudor is a 30 with late anti-rattlers

They are really called RETURN SPRINGS!

The front spring mount on the front side of the bracket and push the rod forward.

The rears mount on the rear side of the bracket and push the rods rearward.

In my experience, the wire return springs are much better than the flat ones.
The flat ones seem to lose their springiness.

Either type should be installed so that they are being pressed back against the mounting brackets. In other words, the front ones get mounted on the forward side of the mounting brackets, and the rears on the rear side of the brackets.
