211-698-003F Drum Hardware Kit, Rear Bus/Pickup 71-79 NLA
(I think the 79 should read 72 or should be 71 only )

I have a "A" kit with springs like in the picture, I have a 71 spring
(broken) and they are different.
Bus Depots shows this:

I don't see a spring like I need in the picture.
I asked Denis to call Way Out because I thought Derick might have some
or know the part number for a generic brake return spring.
And be willing to tell Denis what the number was, I think they are
buddies.
I went to a local car repair shop with a brake hardware supply
cabinet, there was a picture of a spring like the one I need, but none
in his drawer. He did not act like he wanted to order them for me.
Have you done this conversion to 72 and up brakes?
I have access to some later models, what all do I need?
Backing plates, cylinders, shoes, hardware. Do I need hard lines and e
brake cables?
Terry can just go out in the back yard and tell me the
difference.............
We will do all in our power to make T@P.

It's tough for a 71. Best thing to do is upgrade to 72-up bay rears
to avoid the problem.
VW was famous for "one year" or " six month only" stuff

Dan and Kat STILL don't have power at home and got power at his work
just today. They are still living with a generator. He is cranky. I
think that he is driving around following and yelling at electric
company trucks.
They may not make T@P.
Besides all the other problems, he needs 1971 ONLY brake shoe
springs for their Bay bus.. I will call Wayout Salvage, but I think,
maybe some of us might have them.
Help if you can. I certainly will miss them if they don't make it.
