Help finding Sprint brake shoe return springs

#1 Post by Ben Rickards »

Hi all, I am building up a Sprint axle which came to me with no brake components, and I'm struggling to find the shorter brake return springs. Rimmers sell the longer spring, part no UKC1256, but not the shorter ones UKC1255. Can anyone help? Perhaps they are available but incorrectly listed?

Pretty sure something else had the same ones - Capri maybe? I know mine were not marked as Sprint but someone on here recommended them a few years ago.
