By the way that sketch is from me.

Yes, and thanks again.  I actually printed up the pic and bent it to the pic. It is done now. I saw the pic of the one above mounted with the spring  and the base is bent/curved. I see your pic(huge on my screen) shows the spring with the clip(had to scroll over to see. Nice shot. I saved that pic

The one in my picture is bent - don't recall how that happened but it should be similar to the drawing.

This is a typical Autolite dash pot and bracket. I don't think any new ones are available.




That is an amazing photo.  I have no words to express.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
