HI Sean
Thanks for the info.
I will give a torch a try on the weekend to see if the brazing will melt off or I may just use the bench grinder and bring them back real close and hand file the rest off.
I will gladly take a spare set of springs off of your hands once you find them.
I got the name of a heavy truck brake place in town from one of the guys I work with. He is now retired but used to drive race/drag cars and was also a bus/ truck mechanic for many years. He used to send all of his brake work to them. Thats who I will be calling in the next day or so.
When I describe how all the parts worked in the carrier brake system, his comment was "thats so 1910's technology"
